The new feature in the content of the press works participating in the 2024 Golden Hammer and Sickle Award is that they vividly and promptly reflect the events and political activities of the Party and the Resolutions of the Central Executive Committee, the situation, results of innovation and determination to complete the socio-economic targets in 2024; the work of inspection, supervision and enforcement of Party discipline; the direction and proactiveness in preparing personnel for Party congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress...
In particular, after General Secretary To Lam wrote a number of articles expressing the guiding ideology and strategic thinking for the Party to lead the country into a new era - the era of national growth... it has inspired many issues and topics for journalists to think about and create more works reflecting the aspirations for development, vision, and new spirit in the work of leadership, direction, and management of socio-economic development, ensuring national defense - security and foreign affairs, building the Party and the political system, continuing to improve the Party's leadership and governing capacity.
Welcoming the success of the Award, on behalf of the Party and State leaders, speaking at the Award Ceremony, General Secretary To Lam expressed his joy at knowing that the 9th National Press Award on Party Building - 2024 continued to achieve outstanding results in both quantity and quality. This was demonstrated through the positive and proactive response of press agencies, associations, and branches of journalist associations, along with the enthusiastic participation of a large number of authors and author groups from central to local levels.
This year's entries are not only rich in content but also demonstrate meticulous investment and creativity in form, reflecting comprehensively and with a focus on key issues of Party building. Many entries have boldly addressed major, complex, and urgent issues of the country, Party building, and the political system.
The press has truly affirmed its pioneering role by promptly condemning negative behaviors and uncompromisingly fighting corruption, waste, and erroneous and hostile viewpoints. At the same time, the press has also actively spread positive values, new models, good practices, and typical examples among cadres, party members, and the people.
Many works not only attract public attention but also contribute to suggesting and proposing practical solutions to help Party committees and authorities at all levels overcome difficulties and obstacles, promoting development. In particular, the press has played a good role in propagating and disseminating the Party's new policies and guidelines, arousing the spirit of innovation and social responsibility among all classes of people.
These results are vivid evidence of the remarkable growth in thinking, skills and mettle of the Vietnamese press. The works are not only the fruits of creative labor but also reflect the noble responsibility of revolutionary journalism in accompanying the Party and the nation on the path of development.
The General Secretary affirmed that in recent times, the press has done a very good job of propagating and widely disseminating the Party's major policies and orientations on the "New Era", on the revolution of streamlining the apparatus of the political system, on efforts and determination to handle the "bottlenecks" that are hindering the country's development... Thereby, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has truly integrated itself into the flow of practical life, clearly demonstrating its role in leading ideology and accompanying the Party's great steps, creating a spread of trust, responsibility, and aspirations for development among all classes of people. These contributions are not only the results of creative labor but also evidence of the mettle, intelligence, and social responsibility of the press team in carrying out its historical mission.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, the General Secretary respectfully acknowledged, commended and highly appreciated the outstanding contributions of the national press in general and the press writing about Party building work in particular.
The General Secretary emphasized that the country's achievements in nearly 40 years of implementing the renovation process are great. The new era is opening up a bright future for the nation. The new era also sets new and higher requirements for revolutionary journalism, requiring the press to develop accordingly, grow together with the nation, and be worthy of a professional, humane, and modern journalism. The public desires to have more and more truly excellent writers and journalistic works of stature, conveying the great changes of the Party and the nation, and having high political and ideological values.
The General Secretary pointed out that 2025 is a key year, determined to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, the year of holding Party Congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress, and also a year with many major holidays of the country and the nation; celebrating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day. The General Secretary emphasized that the most important task in 2025 is to successfully complete the set targets and plans, creating the foundation and premise for a breakthrough in the next term. In that context, the press writing about Party building needs to actively contribute to helping our Party become increasingly clean and strong, on par with its responsibility and historical mission of leading the nation to develop in the new era. The press must closely follow the political tasks and major issues of the Party and the country to focus on comprehensive, profound, effective, focused propaganda.
