These outstanding results have continued to enhance the role, position, quality and effectiveness of the local Journalists Association, creating excitement and solidarity among all levels of the Association and its members.
One of the highlights in the activities of the Emulation Cluster is the importance of political education and professional development for members and journalists.

Take advantage, enhance local position…
The work of coordinating direction and management of the press is always an issue of concern to the Emulation Cluster - this is also one of the "keys" to help local Associations at all levels improve their position, taking advantage of the attention of provincial leaders and local departments and branches in specific activities.
Accordingly, local Associations have seriously implemented the Regulations on coordination in press direction and management, and have regularly participated in monthly press meetings, quarterly press conferences, and thematic press conferences. Thereby, the Association has contributed to relevant agencies in strengthening the direction and management of press activities in the area, promptly orienting information on "hot" issues and events; and correcting violations in press activities.
6-month summary of the Emulation Cluster.
The Khanh Hoa Provincial Journalists Association, as the Cluster Leader, is also a typical example in this work. In recent times, the Khanh Hoa Provincial Journalists Association has coordinated, directed, and managed the press, improving the role and quality of the Provincial Journalists Association's activities to meet the requirements of political tasks in the new situation with the organization and activities always closely following the leadership of the Party and State, directly the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Journalists Association; Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council; Provincial People's Committee; Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee. "This is the leading factor to ensure all successes of the local Journalists Association" - emphasized journalist Doan Minh Long.
In particular, with his experience, journalist Doan Minh Long affirmed: “The initiative, enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of key leaders, especially those in charge of the Association's work, are important factors. In this role, if the officials in charge of the Association's work are always proactive, diligent in researching and innovating their working methods, the role of the Association will be enhanced, taking advantage of the direction of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Committee, and the support and facilitation of relevant agencies, departments, and branches is an important lesson, contributing to the success of the organization and operation of the local Journalists Association. The coordination between the Provincial Journalists Association and the leaders of the agencies directing and managing the press and the leaders of the press agencies and agencies participating in the press activities of the province is a factor contributing to the success of the activities of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Journalists Association in the new period...".
Regarding the direction for the last 6 months of the year, the Central - South Central Emulation Cluster still has a lot to do to further improve the quality, because according to the assessment, the effectiveness of the emulation movement between local Associations in the Cluster is not really uniform. The summary, evaluation, and replication of advanced models have not received due attention... Therefore, closely following the direction of the Vietnam Journalists Association, the provincial leaders, the targets and tasks registered in the emulation covenant will continue to be the things that need to be done immediately...
