The works have shown meticulous research from the theme to the way of expression. Many genres of works such as reportage, reflection on hot current events, exploited from many angles, giving readers, viewers, and listeners very clear messages and at the same time also imbued with deep humanity.

However, the number of works, authors and press agencies participating in the award is still small. Authors are not really interested in selecting works to participate in the award. Some journalists are not interested in exploiting the topic of traffic safety, the topic is still limited.
