According to Editor-in-Chief of Thanh Nien Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Toan: In 1985, exactly 10 years after the country's reunification, Vietnamese revolutionary journalism was facing a pivotal moment, preparing to enter renovation. In that context, the idea of a newspaper for young people was formed from people who used to operate in the Southern urban student and student movement before 1975.
