On that front, Lao Dong Newspaper, with a history of nearly a century accompanying the revolution and development, continues to affirm its mission of "ledging information", acting as a reliable bridge between the policies of the Party, the State and the practical life of the people, especially the team of workers, laborers and enterprises - the central subjects of the sustainable development process.
Lao Dong Newspaper - A bridge of trust between people and policies
Lao Dong Newspaper - the mouthpiece of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor - has become an effective bridge between the State, enterprises and more than 12.3 million union members. The newspaper has contributed to disseminating labor policies, wages, and social insurance to tens of millions of workers; reflecting difficulties and problems of businesses in reforming administrative procedures, taxes, inspections - checks; creating a forum for practical and close policy dialogue.
With the coverage of millions of reads per day, Lao Dong Newspaper has become a trusted policy dissemination channel.
Lao Dong Newspaper is not only an information channel, but an institution to create consensus, accompany the process of perfecting institutions and protecting workers' rights. In the transformation era, Lao Dong Newspaper demonstrates the role of a "trust bridge" between policy and life, between planning and implementation.
Lao Dong Newspaper affirms the quality of content and critical ability
Lao Dong Newspaper has left its mark with quality articles - having a clear practical impact on policy making and adjustment. A typical example for critical journalism is the series of articles "Untie the gold market so that capital flows into the economy" awarded the B Prize - the 18th National Press Award in 2023, a prestigious award organized by the National Press Award Council. The paper analyzes in-depth the shortcomings in gold market management according to Decree 24/2012/ND-CP. From there, it proposed to recommend reform, aiming to stabilize the market, protect consumers and narrow the domestic - world gold price gap.
The article "Untie the gold market so that capital flows into the economy" was cited by the National Assembly's Economic Committee in policy analysis reports, becoming an important basis for questioning sessions at the National Assembly and meetings between the Government and the State Bank. This affirms the ability of the press to not only stop at information - but also directly affect the process of planning and adjusting public policies.
The article has had a clear practical impact, by May 2025, the Government officially announced the roadmap to amend Decree 24, and at the same time studied the establishment of a national gold exchange - a content that was directly recommended in Lao Dong's articles.
Not only stopping at awards, the success of Lao Dong Newspaper is also reflected in its effective reaching of the public and the trust of readers. In 2024, the newspaper has 5 article lines nominated at the central level, 3 lines made it to the final round of the National Press Awards, continuing to affirm their position in the professional world.
Contributing to the country's sustainable development process, Lao Dong Newspaper not only reflects the current situation or promotes policies, but also carries a vision for a fair, transparent society with people at the center. The articles on labor - wages - institutional reform have contributed to building a space for public and transparent policy dialogue. This is even more meaningful in the 2025-2030 strategic transformation period, when Vietnam is restructuring its economy towards sustainability, modernity and deep integration. Critical press - as Lao Dong has shown - has become one of the strong driving forces in the process of institutional reform, improving operational efficiency and arousing the aspiration for national development.
Lao Dong Newspaper is a vivid testament to the position of revolutionary journalism in the new era: "An economic development - Accompanying to go far - Journalism to serve society".
