Journalists' associations and press agencies at all levels have had good, practical and effective models. However, there are also associations at all levels that still implement the movement in a formal manner, without actualizing the movement in the unit's activities.
Many good and creative ways
At the conference to review 1 year of the emulation movement "Building a cultural environment in press agencies" on the afternoon of November 16, in Hoa Binh, the leaders of the Vietnam Journalists Association affirmed that in recent times, many press agencies from the central to local levels have actively implemented the movement with specific actions and activities. In order to concretize the launching of the movement, the Bac Giang Provincial Journalists Association organized a press workshop with the theme "Building a cultural press agency and cultural journalists" to encourage and motivate each newspaper to strive to become a bright spot in culture, while contributing to strengthening and enhancing the "resistance" of press agencies against negative influences from outside society.
The Central Committee of the Vietnam Journalists Association organized a signing ceremony for the emulation agreement and a seminar on "Culture of journalists" to deepen the content and meaning of the movement. The People's Army Newspaper Journalists Association organized an emulation movement with a practical and profound theme: "Responsibility, discipline, professionalism and humanity", organized seminars and professional activities: "Journalism culture and responsibility of journalists", "Ethics of journalists". The Government Electronic Newspaper Journalists Association advised the Party Committee and the editorial board to issue a plan for the 2022-2025 period with the theme "Standards - Professionalism - Honesty - Civilization". The Today's Rural Newspaper Journalists Association launched an emulation movement and implemented the 5 Yes - 5 No Rules...
Journalist Nguyen Duc Loi, Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Journalists Association, said that "Building a cultural environment in press agencies" is a way to "rectify", tighten discipline and contribute to raising awareness and responsibility of Party committees, Party organizations, leaders of press agencies, journalists, contributing to building a humane and modern press and media, protecting the cultural values of the nation. "After more than a year of being launched, the movement has really entered the lives and working activities of journalists. The phenomenon of journalists having uncultured behavior in their working activities has been overcome and limited. In particular, the cultural content in press works has been significantly improved. Many press agencies have opened more columns and publications on culture", emphasized journalist Nguyen Duc Loi.
Need to get to the bottom of it
From the reality of launching and signing the implementation of the movement at the Journalists Association of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, journalist Phan Thanh Nam, Chairman of the Association, affirmed that the movement has spread and developed effectively. However, for the movement to be implemented in a practical and effective manner, the initiative and efforts of the association level are not enough. Journalist Phan Thanh Nam suggested that the governing bodies and press agencies need to consider this an important, urgent, regular, long-term task in which there must be direct participation and direction from the Party Committee and the editorial board. This content is not only conducted at the association level but also integrated into the Party cell meeting...
According to journalist Phan Thanh Nam, the commitment is just a "dead" document without the necessary environment. There, it is necessary to have the participation and consensus of all cadres and reporters in the agency. In which, it is necessary to promote the honor of each member and reporter who truly understands the teaching of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong: "Honor is the most sacred and noble thing", especially the pioneering and exemplary role of leaders and cadres. This is extremely necessary in the current difficult market economy and journalism economy. All commitments and efforts of the whole collective will be meaningless when only one cadre or reporter violates professional ethics and the law...
Journalist Nguyen Bao Lam, Chairman of the Thai Nguyen Journalists Association, suggested that the central press management agencies, specifically the Vietnam Journalists Association, should issue more specific and detailed regulations so that the associations at all levels and press agencies closely follow the construction of the scoring scale, then the implementation will be more effective, avoiding the situation where each place does it differently and the emulation scoring will not be consistent... Through the implementation in the recent past, it can be seen that the emulation campaign with 12 criteria at the grassroots level is still general, there needs to be more specific and detailed regulations so that the associations at all levels and press agencies closely follow the construction of the scoring scale, avoiding the situation where each place does it differently and the emulation scoring will not be consistent. "If possible, this emulation movement needs to be regulated by law in the Press Law that is being revised soon," journalist Nguyen Bao Lam hoped.
