2023 is the third year of implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, a pivotal year to accelerate implementation results, creating momentum for the successful completion of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, the Resolution of the 17th Provincial Party Congress and resolutions of Party congresses at all levels for the 2020-2025 term.
In 2023, local press agencies and resident reporters in the province made great efforts in performing their tasks, promoting the role of official information channels, quoting sources for social networking sites of agencies, units, and socio-political organizations in the province. Press direction and management work was strengthened, with innovations bringing about efficiency and practical results. Press agencies focused on improving content quality, innovating presentation forms on new, modern interfaces.

The quality of information in the press has been increasingly improved, reflecting comprehensively, honestly, and multi-dimensionally, meeting the diverse needs of the people. Local press, especially electronic newspapers, has gradually become an official information channel providing sources for electronic information pages and social networks of agencies, units, and organizations in the province. In particular, local press agencies have maintained and effectively promoted the column to protect the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints in the new situation.
Proactively and actively fight against and refute the views, distorted arguments, and "peaceful evolution" plots on cyberspace of hostile forces. The resident office, resident agency, and the team of central, provincial, and municipal reporters stationed in the area have closely followed the grassroots, been quick to grasp information, and reflected political events, major holidays, and socio-economic, national defense and security, and Party building activities, promptly reflecting issues of public concern in the area.

In addition to the achieved results, the press work in 2023 still has some limitations such as: the propaganda work on the Party's policies and guidelines is present, but the content is still lacking in depth; the number of articles with critical, predictive, constructive comments, anti-corruption and negative contributions, reflecting "hot" issues in society has increased compared to before but is still not much; the material facilities serving the activities of local press agencies are still limited; some agencies, units and localities have not fulfilled their responsibilities of speaking out and providing information to the press...
The conference also spent most of the time for delegates to exchange and share experiences to improve the effectiveness of information and propaganda work; solutions to build multimedia and multi-platform journalism following modern journalism trends; the need to strengthen coordination between press agencies and localities, departments, branches and sectors to contribute to orienting public opinion on sensitive issues arising in the area, thereby conveying timely, complete and accurate information on the socio-economic development tasks of the locality. At the same time, analyze and identify current trends and challenges in journalism activities to identify key tasks and solutions in 2024.

Speaking at the conference, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Dang Quang emphasized: 2024 is an important year, a year of acceleration to complete the goals of the Resolution of the 17th Provincial Party Congress and the 5-year plan 2021-2025. This is also the year to prepare and build a plan to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day June 21 (1925 - 2025) to review the glorious tradition, important and great contributions, and noble mission of the Vietnamese revolutionary press in general and the press of Quang Tri province in particular.
Therefore, in the coming time, it is recommended that the provincial press management agencies strengthen management of press activities according to the direction of the Central Government and the province; pay attention to training and fostering to improve the level of political theory and professionalism for journalists; at the same time, regularly exchange, support and assist press agencies and journalists to become more and more mature, promote their important roles and functions, lead and orient public opinion, create social consensus, thereby building a professional, humane and modern press and media associated with the digital transformation of press to contribute to the successful implementation of important political tasks of the province. In addition, each journalist needs to equip himself with extensive knowledge; accept to commit himself and immerse himself in real life to create quality works with profound social significance.
Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Dang Quang also suggested a number of tasks that need to be prepared in 2024 to best organize activities to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day in 2025.
At the same time, I hope that the press agencies will continue to join hands and unite with the province to promote comprehensive and effective propaganda in all areas of social life so that the provincial leaders can promptly grasp and direct the handling to meet the requirements and aspirations of the people. At the same time, spread to all people the message of self-reliance, overcoming difficulties to develop the socio-economy, and building a prosperous and happy life.
