Portraying the portraits of journalists as historical figures

With his love and passion for journalism, Professor Ta Ngoc Tan has long nurtured the idea and started writing about the portraits of some typical Vietnamese revolutionary journalists. Witnesses of History is the first book to realize this idea, based on the synthesis of Professor Ta Ngoc Tan's research from the 1990s to the present.

Uncle Ho - journalist Ho Chi Minh, the founder of Vietnam's revolutionary journalism, is the first Vietnamese journalist to be introduced in this book. The following journalists are arranged by date, month, and year of birth to help readers follow the flow of history, respectively: Huynh Thuc Khang, Ngo Tat To, Nguyen An Ninh, Tran Huy Lieu, Truong Chinh, Phan Thanh, Hai Trieu, Vo Nguyen Giap, Xuan Thuy, Huynh Tan Phat, Quang Dam, Duong Tu Giang, Luu Quy Ky, Hoang Tung, Tran Lam, Thep Moi, Tran Bach Dang.

Professor Dr. Ta Ngoc Tan said that writing about journalists and their careers, especially those who work in journalism to make revolutions and politics, is never an easy task.

The author of the book "Witness of History" Professor Dr. Ta Ngoc Tan said that in the historical process of the nation, the press is not only a witness reflecting history, but also a force participating in all historical events, a driving force promoting the movement of all areas of social life, a force contributing to the achievements in the revolutionary struggle, social progress and achievements in construction and development.

Journalists are the owners, the ones who directly create and promote the development of journalism. They are also historical figures, revolutionaries, soldiers on the front lines fighting the enemy or in imperialist prisons, and some even fell in the fight for independence, freedom, and for the noble revolutionary ideal.

"During my research, teaching and journalism career, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to access, read, collect and preserve many documents related to journalists, from research documents, memoirs, to articles, newspapers and magazines. From my admiration for the talent and personality, and respect for the historical and professional values ​​left by senior journalists, and partly because of my professional work, since the early 90s of the last century, I have begun to research and write about the portraits of some journalists," shared Prof. Dr. Ta Ngoc Tan.
