However, the Standing Vice President of the Association also pointed out the limitations that need to be overcome. Accordingly, the emulation and reward movement has not developed comprehensively, evenly and continuously; many places are still heavily formalistic, not closely linked to political tasks and propaganda work; some emulation movements have not had a high spreading effect; the work of summarizing and concluding at some levels of the association has not been given due importance.

Many Association-level units have not proactively and promptly given rewards to groups and individuals with outstanding achievements in professional activities, Association activities, social and charity activities, and have been slow to discover and replicate advanced models; the number of reporters, editors, and full-time staff at the Association who have been proposed for rewards is not high.

"In the coming time, the Vietnam Journalists Association aims to continue to innovate, improve the quality of emulation and reward work, and overcome the limitations that have been pointed out, in order to create stronger motivation for the development of Vietnam's revolutionary press," Mr. Nguyen Duc Loi emphasized.
