Industry and Trade Newspaper is a special newspaper!

On October 2, 1945, Minister of National Economy Nguyen Manh Ha - a member of the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam signed Decree No. 08-BKT/VP on the organization and operation of the Ministry of National Economy, in which the Economic Review Department was responsible for publishing Vietnam Economic Review. After many periods and many name changes, today, Vietnam Economic Review is called Industry and Trade Newspaper. After 79 years of construction and development, Industry and Trade Newspaper is one of the oldest newspapers in the Vietnamese revolutionary press, a major economic newspaper of the multi-sector economic ministry, of leading importance in the country's economy.

Dr. Vo Tri Thanh commented that Cong Thuong Newspaper is a very special newspaper!

On the occasion of the 79th anniversary of the Industry and Trade Newspaper, Dr. Vo Tri Thanh - Director of the Institute for Brand and Competitiveness Strategy Research - one of the economic experts who has cooperated and supported information and in-depth analysis related to many areas of the economy shared with the Newspaper's reporters.

Dr. Vo Tri Thanh assessed that the Industry and Trade Newspaper is a very special newspaper. According to him, the special thing is that the newspaper has accompanied almost the entire revolutionary process, and later the nearly 40-year process of renovation and reform in Vietnam.

Second, this is a newspaper associated with a field that plays a very important role in economic development in particular and in the country's development in general. " This special thing is not only shown in the story of awareness but also in the historical mark in Uncle Ho's letter to the Industry and Trade sector; in which, Uncle emphasized the two words "Industry and Trade". Or before that, our ancestors also had a saying "No Industry, no wealth, no Commerce, no activity" which clearly showed the role of the industry" - Dr. Vo Tri Thanh affirmed.

Third, like many other newspapers, publications and media tools, Cong Thuong Newspaper is a very dynamic newspaper, accepting risks, always adapting and innovating to make the role and meaning of communication better and more practical.

However, according to Dr. Vo Tri Thanh, the flow of journalism is unceasing, in the position and role of the Industry and Trade press, the Industry and Trade Newspaper must do something "so that we know ourselves better, we know the world better". Especially the propaganda field of the Newspaper is the fields related to opening up integration, trade and other flows and resources. Thus, "the vision, orientation or story of the Newspaper needs to have highlights, focus points,... but must be very broad due to new requirements" - the expert recommended.

In addition, the Newspaper needs to keep up with the trend - this is a particularly important issue in the period when Vietnam needs to have turning points in terms of support and turning points for development like the current period. Here, there are many new trends associated with the Industry and Trade sector, it is not only the Industry and Trade sector in the traditional sense, it is also an ecosystem, a connection, an intersection of many fields of activity. It is keeping up with new trends such as the 4.0 Industrial Revolution, digital transformation, green transformation. It is not just a story of activities but it is a story of people, quality human resources, talent, ...

In particular, “I want to share with Cong Thuong Newspaper the story of how to be comprehensive in both input and output. Input is how to attract many voices, ways of speaking, and voices from many different classes to provide the best, positive perspective” - Dr. Vo Tri Thanh said.

At the same time, he believes that the Newspaper also needs to have a different perspective on its audience, or readers. “In addition to the common things, there also needs to be stratification, measurement and evaluation to spread the message. Or it could be stories about management, factors that can change production and business methods to better connect partners and markets, etc. to have different perspectives and stratifications in addition to the common input of information,” the expert analyzed.
