As the voice of the Party Committee, the government, and the people of Hanoi, for the past 57 years, Hanoi Moi Newspaper has always been a witness to a heroic capital city, a capital deeply marked by the nation's strong development in the era of integration and progress.
From its first daily issue (October 24, 1957) to the present day, Hanoi Moi Newspaper has undergone a comprehensive development process in terms of organization, personnel, finance, content, and format of its daily newspaper and publications, meeting the requirements of its political mission. From a four-page black-and-white print, Hanoi Moi Daily has expanded to eight pages, printed in four colors, published numerous editions, adopted modern journalistic practices, and developed an online newspaper to diversify its propaganda work effectively. Hanoi Moi Newspaper has made positive contributions to finding a direction for journalistic development, bridging the gap between central and local press; successfully building the cultural image of the newspaper; and maintaining and promoting the identity of the Capital's Party newspaper.
