The 2023 Nghe An Press Award has 178 entries, the largest number of entries after 20 years of organizing the award. Of which, the electronic newspaper category has 93 entries, the print newspaper has 45 entries, and the radio and television category has 40 entries. Particularly in the electronic newspaper category, photojournalism and media works, e-Magazine accounts for a fairly large number.
The works eligible for this year's award comprehensively reflect the political, economic, cultural and social fields of the province in 2023.
The authors have invested carefully, discovered many new topics, provided timely information, and offered positive, practical solutions to problems arising in life.
The works participating in this year's competition have many rich and diverse topics, especially the topics of economic development, green economic priorities, as well as newly emerging issues, shortcomings in social life, implementation of major policies and guidelines of the province...
In terms of form of expression, this year's entries were invested in quite elaborately and systematically with rich forms of expression, new approaches to many types such as talks, documentaries, reports, investigative reports, notes, monographs, interviews...
Especially the e-Magazine genre on electronic newspapers is presented in an eye-catching and attractive way. Television productions are elaborately staged, with beautiful camera angles, showing the typical mark of the visual journalism genre.
Meanwhile, radio productions have vivid sounds, attractive scripts, and a combination of on-site sounds and announcer narration, thereby expressing the author's intentions and goals.
However, according to the Judging Council, many articles have good topics but the approach and implementation of the topic are superficial, lacking in depth, and not really invested. The number of works on advanced models, new factors, good people, and good deeds is still small, not properly invested.
When selecting works to participate in the competition, authors still focus on content and do not pay much attention to presentation and form of expression, reducing the combativeness, timeliness and attraction for readers, listeners and viewers.
The judging panel conducted two preliminary and final rounds, ensuring objectivity, honesty, and high classification.
After the preliminary round, there were more than 100 works with 6.5 points to enter the final round. After two rounds of judging, the Judging Council unanimously presented to the Provincial People's Committee to recognize 4 works that won First Prize; 6 works that won Second Prize; 10 works that won Third Prize and 14 works that won Encouragement Prize.
