Mr. Do Quy Doan: "CD24h failed in the Cong Phuong case"

Former Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Do Quy Doan shared some arguments showing that he does not support the way CĐ 24h handles the issue of Cong Phuong's age.

The real age of soccer player Nguyen Cong Phuong has been causing a stir in public opinion recently and shows no signs of stopping as VTV's Chuyen Dong 24h (CD 24h) program continuously brings up the issue.

Mr. Do Quy Doan, former Deputy Minister of Information and Communications.

Reading newspapers, news sites, social networks, and forums for many days now, it seems that the more CD 24h program goes into this matter, the more fierce and harsh the reaction from the audience is. And one thing worth noting is that even those who support honesty in sports, who need an accurate conclusion about Cong Phuong's age, do not agree with CD 24h's way of doing things.

Regarding the 24h CD reporting on Cong Phuong's age, former Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Do Quy Doan shared on his personal Facebook page some arguments showing that he does not support the 24h CD's approach to the issue of Cong Phuong's age.

With Mr. Do Quy Doan's permission, Kien Thuc would like to publish his original sharing on this issue.

It is known that the information management agencies have had official opinions on the issue of Cong Phuong's age (CD 24h) in the past. In the press and social networks, there have been many profound articles, analyzing this issue with reason and emotion. I think, through this incident, there will certainly be many lessons learned for everyone to ponder. I thought that after having many opinions, including instructions from responsible people, including social reactions, CD 24h would calmly review the whole thing... but they continued to bring up the deceased brother and then someone speculated about the tombstone of Cong Phuong's brother, even the most indifferent people could not bear it...

The right and wrong of the case have not been concluded yet, that will be answered by the authorities, I only give two points to analyze the content of the program on CD 24h recently.

Regarding the purpose: An article or a program on radio or television all aim at the basic purpose of meeting the needs and serving the needs of the public. On the other hand, it also has the purpose of educating, orienting the public's awareness and aesthetics... In general, it takes the public as the object of service and with the purpose of being for the public. Without the public, there certainly would be no press, radio or television.

Yet when CD 24h brought up the Cong Phuong incident, most of the public was indignant and reacted (there has been no sociological survey on the percentage of people who objected, but reading newspapers and online information can show us that).

So, what is the purpose of this program? The recent social reactions that everyone has seen have shown that the purpose of CD 24h when reporting the Cong Phuong case has failed because it lost the public.

- Regarding the method: It can be said right away that the program makers used a pre-determined method (using pre-determined intentions to approach), thus losing objectivity. Any information, images, words... that fit their pre-determined intentions were included, and anything that didn't fit was cut out. Honestly, at first I thought the program makers were too enthusiastic about the event, but when I watched the interviews, images, and then the inclusion of the date of birth of Cong Phuong's deceased brother... it became even clearer that the method of CD 24h was pre-determined.

With the above purpose and method, surely everyone has their own conclusion to perceive the work of CD 24h. At this time, I think VTV's voice is very necessary to handle the information crisis of CD 24h and to reassure the public.
