Along with those remarkable changes and developments, the staff of Nghe An Newspaper also realized that: In the face of the integration and development trend of the homeland, in the face of the explosion of science and information technology, in the face of fierce competition from social networks; in the face of the increasingly high demands of readers, Nghe An Newspaper must constantly improve the quality of both content and form, strive to modernize its organizational model, facilities, techniques and technology.

Those are both requirements and goals, so we also hope to receive comments and discussions at this Seminar, so that the team of Nghe An journalists today can be given more motivation and inspiration to confidently seek and innovate continuously" - Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper Ngo Duc Kien expressed.

To perform well its orientation function, Nghe An Newspaper must also be one of the factors to decide to ensure a healthy information environment, promote the development of society and community, and spread good values ​​and positive factors in the locality.

In addition, the Standing Deputy Secretary of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee also emphasized: In the current context, Nghe An Newspaper must also demonstrate its great and important role in handling media crises (if this happens) related to the environment, locality, and work of the province.

In particular, besides its role as a forum and voice of the Party and Government, Nghe An Newspaper needs to continue to have solutions to effectively implement its principles and purposes as a forum and voice of the people of the province.

Accordingly, Nghe An Newspaper must be a place to exchange, share and spread local movements, and also a place for Party committees and authorities to listen to many suggestions from the people to contribute to building the Party, building the political system and giving suggestions and recommendations for the work of building the Party's cadre team; protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

On the other hand, the Newspaper needs to continue to open and "nurture" special pages and columns that are more attractive and appealing to readers; to become a reliable address to provide information to the People.

In addition to the necessary requirements of truthful, accurate, timely, objective, complete and comprehensive information; ensuring universal values, promoting traditional values ​​of Vietnamese culture in general and Nghe An in particular; the Standing Deputy Secretary of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee further emphasized that professional requirements as a Party newspaper must always be taken into account.

That is, each reporter, including collaborators, needs to have a deep understanding of the Party's work, the policies and resolutions of the Party Committee; the Party's leadership methods; at the same time, they must be constructive, giving advice to the Party Committee, the government, the political system, as well as the staff at all levels in the locality; especially always fostering, training, cultivating, and practicing the sharpness and political vision of the team of journalists.

APPLYING NEW CONTENT AND TECHNOLOGY

Speaking at the seminar, comrade Le Quoc Minh - Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association congratulated the successes that Nghe An Newspaper has achieved over the past 60 years.

Comrade Le Quoc Minh shared: In 2018, during a visit to Nghe An Newspaper, he was extremely surprised by the convergent newsroom model that Nghe An Newspaper had built. Because at that time, many central news agencies were "struggling" with building convergent newsrooms. And today, attending the discussion to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Newspaper's founding, he was even more surprised because Nghe An Newspaper had grasped the trends and methods of modern journalism such as launching Podcasts, Emagazines, etc.

Identifying himself as a generation that builds bridges in the Vietnamese revolutionary press, not forgetting the past but also moving towards modern elements, comrade Le Quoc Minh believes that in the very near future, the way of doing journalism will be different, different from yesterday, because the way of doing journalism in the world is changing every day. The Vietnam Journalists Association as well as the Central press agencies are trying to transform themselves.

Comrade Le Quoc Minh said that, as a local Party newspaper, Nghe An Newspaper must become a place where people who want to find reliable information about Nghe An, about the province's guidelines and policies must come. Moreover, in a chaotic information environment, with a lot of real and fake information, readers tend to look for reliable information. But to do so, Nghe An Newspaper must be active, must be present on all platforms, and its effectiveness must be measurable.

"If we do not improve the quality of Party newspapers, if newspapers do not unite with each other, do not become more modern and attractive, it will be difficult for us to maintain our position. Nhan Dan Newspaper is ready to act as a focal point to coordinate and support local Party newspapers."

The Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper also believes that in the near future, all human behavior, propaganda content, and human lifestyle will take place in a very new way. If the press does not promptly apply new content and technology, it will fall behind.

Affirming that Nghe An Newspaper also has its own strengths and advantages that large press agencies do not have, comrade Le Quoc Minh - Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper believes that with the transformation of Nghe An Newspaper, the direction, encouragement and support of Nghe An province's leaders, and the consultation of previous generations, Nghe An Newspaper will continue to be successful, worthy of being the newspaper in the beloved homeland of Uncle Ho.
