Over the past years, the press in general and Ha Tinh press in particular have promoted their role and responsibility, fiercely fought against hostile and reactionary forces and opportunistic elements that sabotage our Party, State and People, contributing to firmly protecting the Party's ideological foundation.
Proud to be the vanguard on the ideological and cultural front, since its inception, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has promoted its pioneering role in propaganda work, implementing the Party's policies and guidelines, praising and actively protecting the great achievements that our people have achieved under the Party's leadership in the struggle for national liberation as well as in the current cause of innovation.
In particular, the press has promoted its role and responsibility, fiercely fighting against hostile and reactionary forces and opportunistic elements that sabotage our Party, State and People, contributing to firmly protecting the Party's ideological foundation.
Press agencies are actively promoting their role in orienting public opinion.
Since its inception, the Communist Party of Vietnam has always maintained its stance, ideology, solidarity and unity, and has constantly improved its prestige and leadership capacity as a ruling party. With its mettle and rich experience, the Party has led our people to many miracles, leaving a strong mark on history.
The consistent ideology of our Party is to firmly adhere to the goal and ideal of national independence associated with socialism based on the foundation of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought, affirming that Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought are the "compass" of the Vietnamese revolution. Under the comprehensive and absolute leadership of the Party, the foundation of Vietnam is becoming brighter and brighter.
However, hostile and reactionary forces are still determined to find every means to attack and sabotage, in order to collapse Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought. The methods of sabotage and sabotage change frequently, but the ideological and political fields are still considered the top front, the number one target, always in the "sights" of hostile, opportunistic and reactionary forces. In many forms, they both seek to attack and attack, and cite, accuse, and fabricate all kinds of tricks to create excuses to lower the prestige, and then eliminate the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam, to sabotage the goals and path that our Party and People have chosen.
Not only that, they also distort the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, denying the great and historically significant achievements that the Party has led our people to gain in the struggle for national liberation as well as in the cause of innovation and international integration.
More maliciously, they deliberately exploit the shortcomings and limitations of the Party and the political system in the process of leadership, direction, management and operation in a number of areas. Reality shows that they find ways to sabotage any area they can take advantage of, not hesitating from any insidious plot or trick. They thoroughly exploit the media, especially the internet and social networks, to sabotage the Party, the State and the great achievements that the Party has led our people to achieve.
The forms of propaganda and sabotage by hostile and reactionary forces through newspapers, radio, television and social networks with untrue, distorted and harmful information have partly had a negative impact on the ideology and trust of a part of the people towards the Party and the State. The information they deliberately fabricate is intended to lead, attract and attract public attention, making the recipients of the information not understand the nature and lose their vigilance.
Sadly, there are cadres and party members with positions, power, status, who have been well-trained, given favorable conditions and a good working environment, but who show signs of dissatisfaction and degradation in ideology, politics, morality and lifestyle due to receiving bad and toxic information through many channels from hostile and reactionary forces who have no sympathy for the Communist Party of Vietnam and the path that our people have chosen.
In addition, up to now, a number of cadres and party members still have an incorrect, incomplete, and objective understanding of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought. This is considered one of the "gaps" in awareness, creating opportunities and assisting hostile and reactionary forces to exploit and sabotage the ideological foundation of our Party. This has been clearly stated in the Document of the 13th National Congress of the Party: "A number of cadres and party members are not politically steadfast, have degraded political ideology, are skeptical and vague about the goals and ideals of the Party and the path to socialism in our country; a few are confused, wavering, and have lost confidence; in some cases, they deny Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's thought and the Party's renewal path...".
Fighting against the wrong views of hostile and reactionary forces is an important, regular and continuous task not only of cadres, party members or any level, sector or field, but is the responsibility of the entire political system together with all classes in society, in which the press must always play a pioneering role.
In recent times, the press, radio and television systems have actively fought against the distorted and erroneous arguments of hostile and reactionary forces, contributing to the defeat of all their plots and tricks. Thereby, contributing to raising the high level of vigilance among cadres, party members and people of all walks of life, while exposing the nature, purpose and motives of reactionary and hostile groups and elements that sabotage our Party, State and People.
Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department Ha Van Hung, Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department - Chairman of the Provincial Journalists Association Nguyen Xuan Hai, Director of the Department of Information and Communications Dau Tung Lam chaired the press conference in the first quarter of 2023, launching the 6th Provincial Press Award on Party building (Golden Hammer and Sickle Award) - 2023.
In any conditions and circumstances, the "mission" of the press in general and the Ha Tinh press in particular is to rely on scientific foundations closely linked to practice to continue to affirm and enrich the great spiritual values of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought. Thoroughly grasping the content of Resolution 35-NQ/TW dated October 22, 2018 of the Politburo, Plan No. 168-KH/TU dated May 4, 2019 of the Ha Tinh Provincial Party Committee to implement Resolution 35-NQ/TW of the Politburo on strengthening the protection of the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against erroneous and hostile views in the new situation and guiding documents of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department, Ha Tinh Journalists Association, press agencies in Ha Tinh have stepped up propaganda work, promptly combated erroneous arguments of hostile and reactionary forces, and toxic information, contributing to maintaining political stability and social order and safety in the area.
But more than anyone else and importantly, each press agency, each reporter, each journalist must also be extremely "vigilant" with themselves. Despite frequent warnings, in reality, in recent times, a small number of reporters and journalists, due to their unstable political stance and mettle, lack of professional ethics, have fallen into a pragmatic lifestyle, posting articles on social networking sites that are not objective and not true, affecting the nature of revolutionary journalism.
Firmly protecting the foundation of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought is an important task, requiring the press to constantly pay attention to both aspects, both protecting and performing well the propaganda task, especially Directive No. 23-CT/TW, dated February 9, 2018 of the Central Party Secretariat (12th tenure) on "Continuing to innovate, improve the quality and effectiveness of studying, researching, applying and developing Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought in the new situation".
Delegates from Ha Tinh attended the conference summarizing 17 years of the National Press Awards and the program to support high-quality journalism.
Thereby, continuing to affirm the scientific, revolutionary, and humanistic nature - the core values of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought, making Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought increase in value and increasingly spread in the political system, in the spiritual life of cadres, party members and people of all walks of life.
This is both the social responsibility of citizens and the noble responsibility of revolutionary journalists. Performing this task well will contribute significantly to protecting the Party's ideological foundation, protecting the peaceful life of the People, protecting the achievements of the revolution and maintaining political stability, ensuring security and social order, continuing to create momentum to promote economic development, bringing the country to progress faster and more sustainably in the process of international integration.
The press should promote its role and sense of responsibility, promptly propagandize so that cadres, party members and people of all walks of life constantly raise their vigilance, not be subjective in the face of all plots and tricks of hostile and reactionary forces, political opportunists and discontented elements with the regime.

In the fight against invasion and national liberation, the press has fulfilled its “mission” well, worthy of the army of writers on the ideological and cultural front of the Party. Entering the period of innovation, the press has promoted its pioneering spirit, effectively contributing to the propaganda task in all fields, affirming its role and position in social life. The current team of journalists must increasingly demonstrate the political mettle, capacity and qualifications of revolutionary journalism, resolutely fighting against the wrong, distorted and hateful views of hostile and reactionary forces, opposing, dissatisfied and extremist elements, which go against the interests of the Party and our people.
In addition to professional expertise, the press team needs to heighten vigilance and have methods to fight against hostile and reactionary forces. Each reporter and journalist must play a pioneering role in orienting and leading public opinion, so that the entire political system and all classes of people can join in, actively fight against hostile and reactionary forces, and elements with different views, defeat all their plots, contribute to firmly protecting the Party's ideological foundation and affirming the comprehensive and absolute leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
