Journalist Le Quoc Minh said: “Google's news initiative has been cooperating with press agencies for a long time. This cooperation needs to be further improved. The issue I am concerned about is that Google helps protect press copyrights, preventing pages and channels from taking them back without permission. In addition, it supports revenue generation. Advertising with the press still plays an important role in the press but is decreasing.”

At the program, the Google representative in Southeast Asia shared: Training cooperation with Vietnamese press units to share trends and lessons in the world and in the region for readers about news searching to have more appropriate information orientation.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, said: This cooperation is of great significance for the Vietnamese press. Through the exchange, we have made the cooperation between press agencies and Google more professional, deeper, and more focused on models and data usage.

“Google’s cooperation with a number of press agencies is very necessary. The Ministry always supports and hopes that the cooperation with Vietnamese press agencies and management agencies will be raised to a new level. It will contribute to improving the capacity of Vietnamese press agencies and protecting copyrights…”, said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam.
