At the ceremony, delegates reviewed the 60-year tradition of building and growing Bac Kan Newspaper. Accordingly, on November 18, 1963, the Standing Committee of Bac Kan Provincial Party Committee issued a Resolution to convert Bac Kan News into Bac Kan Newspaper. Right from the first issues, Bac Kan Newspaper has promoted quite well the tasks set forth by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Administrative Committee.
In July 1965, Thai Nguyen province merged with Bac Kan province to form Bac Thai province. The two newspapers of the Party Committees of the two provinces were also merged into Bac Thai Newspaper. In January 1997, along with the separation of Bac Thai province into Thai Nguyen and Bac Kan provinces, Bac Kan Newspaper was re-established. During 6 decades of formation and development, Bac Kan Newspaper has played a good role as the mouthpiece of the Bac Kan Provincial Party Committee, the voice of the Party Committee, the government and the people of all ethnic groups in the province.

Up to now, Bac Kan Newspaper has made remarkable progress, constantly growing in both quantity and quality. From 8 initial staff and reporters (at the time of re-establishment of the province on January 1, 1997), Bac Kan Newspaper now has 29 staff, reporters and workers. From only publishing 1 issue/week (in 1997), the Newspaper now publishes 4 issues/week; 2 issues of Highland News and Photos are released each month. The total circulation is nearly 1 million copies/year. The content and form of the newspaper are constantly being innovated with many specialized pages and columns; information reflects many aspects of socio-economic life inside and outside the province.
Keeping up with the development trend of modern journalism, Bac Kan Newspaper is one of the first Party newspapers in the country to establish an electronic information page in 2005. From an electronic information page with a simple interface and low traffic, Bac Kan Electronic Newspaper now has an average of over 12,000 visits/day. Information content is increasingly rich and diverse with the criteria of "Fast - Accurate - Attractive" and shared strongly on social networking platforms. Special pages, columns and modern multimedia press works appear more and more diversely on electronic publications.
In recognition of the achievements, over the years, many collectives and individuals of Bac Kan Newspaper have been awarded Certificates of Merit by the Provincial People's Committee. On June 29, 2023, Bac Kan Newspaper was honored to receive the Emulation Flag from the Prime Minister under Decision No. 770/QD-TTg for excellently and comprehensively completing its tasks, leading the patriotic emulation movement in 2022 of Bac Kan province.
