Television reports have poor images, are not attractive, and lack selection; radio and photojournalistic works are few and not vivid. Articles in print and online newspapers have not really been innovative.
The number of works on the topic of Nghe An tourism and Cua Lo tourism in 2019 was published and broadcast quite a lot, with a relatively large density in local, central and industry newspapers, but press agencies and journalist associations have not paid attention to directing journalists, members and collaborators to select works to submit to the contest, so the number of works participating in the contest is not commensurate with the number of works promoted during the year.
From the results of the contest, the Organizing Committee hopes that in the following years, central and local press agencies will continue to cooperate to further promote tourism products of Cua Lo in particular, and Nghe An tourism in general to domestic and international friends.
