The entire industry has clearly demonstrated its role as one of the important spearheads in the work of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic, proactively advising the Party Committee to issue many directive documents and instructions on propaganda work with many rich and creative forms, contributing to creating unity in awareness, political ideology and action within the Party, consensus and unanimity in society with the work of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic.

Although achieving many outstanding results, highly appreciated by the political system and public opinion, propaganda work in 2021 still has some limitations such as: The quality and effectiveness of summarizing practices and theoretical research are not high; oral propaganda activities of reporters and propagandists, especially at the grassroots level, are not diverse in form, methods are not lively, and are still one-way.

Grasping the situation of public opinion, thoughts and aspirations of cadres, party members and people of all walks of life, especially complex and sensitive issues arising at the grassroots level, is sometimes not timely...
