Quang Tri Province - the heroic land on the front line, always remembers the great contributions of the press in historical periods. During the years of resistance against the US, Quang Tri was a fierce battlefield, where journalists bravely rushed into battle, recorded historical moments, and truthfully conveyed the resilient fight of our army and people. Images and articles from the Quang Tri battlefield not only encouraged the fighting spirit of soldiers and people but also became vivid evidence of the patriotism and indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people.

Over the past 97 years, since the establishment of Phan Dau newspaper in 1928, the revolutionary press of Quang Tri province has always accompanied the revolutionary struggles, holding an important position in the cause of building and defending the country and the province. After the reunification of the country, the press continued to accompany the Party Committee, government and people of Quang Tri province in the process of reconstruction, innovation and development.

From a land that suffered much pain due to war, Quang Tri today has grown strongly, becoming a center for renewable energy development, transportation services, marine economy, and a gateway for international exchange on the East-West Economic Corridor. That achievement has a significant contribution from press agencies in reflecting, encouraging, orienting public opinion and creating momentum for the overall development of the province.

During that development process, under the leadership of the Party, Quang Tri press has continuously developed comprehensively in terms of nature, scale and position. Quang Tri press has strongly transformed digitally, promoted technology development, and transformed into a multimedia press agency model. Press agencies have done a good job of propagating the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws; the goals of the province's annual socio-economic development program...
