But there is one thing that is consistent and never changes in that journey, which is that workers are always at the center of Lao Dong Newspaper.
This is reflected in the number of news and articles for workers, union members, trade union activities and stories of workers that have been discovered, reflected, protected and persistently pursued by Lao Dong Newspaper throughout its journey.
That could be the story of a worker who is owed wages and late in paying social insurance; a worker family who has lived in a rented house for many years hoping to have a social housing; or unemployed workers who need a new opportunity to stabilize their lives.
Each story initially may just be the difficulty of a person, a family or a group of workers. But behind it are often larger issues about policies, laws and implementation responsibilities that need to be seen and resolved.
And this is also the special value of a newspaper named Lao Dong. There, the voice of workers is not only brought to a large number of readers at home and abroad, but also conveyed to the Trade Union organization, management agencies, businesses and responsible people to contribute to creating positive policy movements, beneficial to workers.
Especially in that journey, Lao Dong Newspaper is also an important bridge between the Trade Union organization and union members, workers and society.
The new policies of the Trade Union organization are quickly and promptly conveyed by Lao Dong to the grassroots level. Along with that are effective care models being replicated; dedicated Trade Union officials, good workers are introduced and honored.
Lao Dong is about to turn 98 in the context of the Trade Union organization's continuous innovation. The press in general, media technology and platforms to reach readers are constantly changing, so the requirements set for Lao Dong Newspaper are also increasingly high and strict to promptly reflect new issues arising.
Especially in the context that workers can access information from many sources, the goal that Lao Dong aims for is not only to have faster information, but also to be more accurate, closer and more useful so that workers' trust in the newspaper is built and nurtured more sustainably.
After 97 years and in the following journeys, there is a value that Lao Dong will definitely continue to preserve, which is that where there are workers, there is Lao Dong Newspaper listening, reflecting and accompanying, contributing to creating positive changes in life.
And the close bond between Lao Dong Newspaper and the Trade Union organization will also be further demonstrated by the ultimate effect that workers are listened to more, cared for, and better protected their legitimate rights and interests.
