In the atmosphere of celebrating the Party, celebrating Spring, celebrating the success of the 14th National Congress of the Party and preparing to welcome the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year, on February 14, in Hanoi, General Secretary To Lam visited and wished Tet to officials, reporters, editors, technicians and employees of Vietnam Television (VTV) and Voice of Vietnam (VOV).
At VTV, General Secretary To Lam directly visited the program production area, studio, broadcasting center, listened to reports on work results, and listened to the sharing of officials and reporters of the News Department.
Highly appreciating VTV's key role on the ideological and cultural front, the General Secretary affirmed that "reality" is the life, the core factor creating the prestige of revolutionary journalists. The General Secretary suggested a new thinking about taking advantage of information from the people themselves in the context of technological development.
In this era, it is necessary to promote popularity, expand interaction channels to receive information and documents from the people.
All domestic and international events that we cannot attend immediately, people can provide. When we have information and data from the people to verify and reflect, it will be a great source of strength" - the General Secretary emphasized.
The General Secretary especially acknowledged VTV's working motto, which is "clear people, clear tasks, clear results, responsible to the end and effectiveness", considering this as a valuable experience that any field needs to implement.
The General Secretary expressed deep understanding of the hardships, especially the time pressure that reporters and editors have to face every day and the silent sacrifices during holidays and Tet. The characteristic of journalism is that it does not allow delays, especially during the New Year transition.
Tet work has its own characteristics that not everyone understands. News cannot be prepared in advance, events must be reflected at that time.
On New Year's Eve, people wait for special and attractive programs, we want to be proactive, but in reality, news does not allow us to have free time. That is the hardship but also the glory of the profession," General Secretary To Lam shared with VTV's staff and employees.
The General Secretary also requested the team of journalists to constantly cultivate political bravery, towards strategic autonomy in thinking and action.
Visiting and wishing Tet to VOV, General Secretary To Lam expressed his emotion and shared with VOV officials, employees, and technicians - those who are guarding the sky, keeping the signal, keeping the information rhythm for the country.
From rudimentary wartime equipment to today's modern radio system, VOV has continuously grown stronger.
The radio waves cover the mainland, reaching out to the East Sea, reaching fishermen, officers and soldiers on frontline islands, and people in remote, isolated, and border areas. When storms and floods strike, when the power grid is interrupted, when many other media types lose signal, the radio voice still echoes clearly, promptly, and accurately.
In information "loopholes", where infrastructure is still limited, the Station is a reliable bridge between the government and the people.
