The Association can only speak if it can do it... Currently, the unit has opened a Youtube channel to fight against erroneous and hostile viewpoints, to protect the Party's ideological foundation, because currently on cyberspace, hostile forces are using this platform as a tool to sabotage”. In addition, in difficult conditions of operating costs, but still wanting to improve activities, Lam Dong Provincial Journalists Association has implemented a solution to socialize part of the funding for organizing the Lam Dong Provincial Journalism Awards. The Association has called for sponsorship sources for the Awards to enhance the value of the awards.
