Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications of Vietnam, speaking at the Workshop
Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications of Vietnam, said that the press, radio and television are fields that are being affected by the digital technology boom because traditional media activities are gradually losing market share and revenue to cross-border platforms. Therefore, digital transformation has become an inevitable trend. It is necessary for ASEAN countries to share experiences and understanding of strategies and good practices in promoting and orienting domestic press and media agencies to digitally transform sustainably. Digital transformation of the media is an inevitable trend, aiming to improve the media capacity of the press in attracting viewership from social networking platforms, protecting traditional values along with modernizing the press and media. Digital transformation in media is essentially the application of increasingly modern technology to press activities, enriching the digital media ecosystem with new, superior features, helping to improve the quality and effectiveness of communication to information consumers. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam added:
