In the context where we have a storm of information flooding in and especially a lot of negative information on social networks, in the press, causing a disconnection from the press... and making people no longer want to come to the press. The solution to the current disconnection from news is to have constructive, explanatory, and inspirational content... Those are ways to make people feel that life is better", journalist Le Quoc Minh emphasized.
