Journalism is fate
The journalism profession is considered an experienced profession, always attracting many people, especially those who are passionate about words and bringing news to readers. Many people are doctors, engineers, lecturers... choosing to collaborate with newspapers to satisfy their passion for writing. And among them, there are artists who are not too constrained in roles and entertainment events, choose journalism, and become a news editor.
Editor, MC Hong Phuc told Lao Dong reporter that he has been passionate about art since he was a child, he has participated in many TV series before; he also has a passion for journalism and has become an editor. During his time as a journalist, MC Hong Phuc still did not give up his passion for art, he continued to participate in new films, make music nights, and release MVs when he had time.
MC Hong Phuc shared with reporters that the mark that will always remember him in his journalism career was the first news announcer on VTV9 - Vietnam Television on October 8, 2007. "I felt both nervous and happy at that time because I was experiencing a new journey. Since then, I have loved the journalism profession more, and understand more about the hardships of bringing news to journalists' readers" - MC Hong Phuc shared.
However, to fulfill her two roles as an artist and editor, MC Hong Phuc believes that there needs to be careful, elaborate preparation, and balance between work so as not to "dild off" any work.
MC and editor Le Nguyen Bao is also a familiar face for many programs such as HTV, VTV, THVL, Tay Ninh. In addition to his role as an editor bringing news to readers, Le Nguyen Bao is also a versatile actor. He won the championship of thuc day dao tinh 2023 and starred in many films such as Giot mau vo hinh, Doi trong an, Toi la chu, Vong xoay tinh thu, Hanh phuc dai bao.
For Le Nguyen Bao, whether an artist or a journalist, when working, they all have a common point: not letting emotions dominate them, then hoping for success. That is, every job must uphold professionalism.
MC Le Nguyen Bao said that journalism has given him many experiences, helping him on his artistic path. He said that when he became an editor, he was creative, passionate, and had many experiences in life and people. For him, every day that is on air, an article is a new feeling, a new lesson.
The press profession has a very special appeal, so more and more beauties are participating. Miss Do My Linh and Runner-up Phuong Anh also switched to being editors and news MCs for VTV before temporarily stopping to have a new plan in 2025.
For Do My Linh, the time spent as a news editor, although not long, brought her many experiences. Because before becoming a beauty queen, since childhood, Do My Linh dreamed of becoming a television editor. Therefore, when she had the opportunity, the beauty queen was able to get married to the work of a sports editor on VTV.
When she was attached to her work as an editor, although her work was busy sometimes from morning to night, not as leisurely as wearing a beautiful dress and walking on the red carpet, for Do My Linh, when she was able to do the work she was passionate about, she never felt tired and tired.
As for Runner-up Phuong Anh, she said that whether she works in newspapers for a small or large amount, long or short, with each of her journeys, she has many lessons and experiences. The journalism profession helps her to be meticulous, careful and regulate her emotions better.
Whether a journalist or an artist, they all have a close relationship
For artists who have worked in the arts, it is very normal to come into contact with journalists. Therefore, right in the aspect of work, journalists and artists already have a close relationship with each other. One side wants to bring news to readers, the other side wants to share and express their feelings about life and artistic activities with those who love them and through the press, they can connect with the audience better.
Many people think that the work of an artist and a journalist has extremely contrasting characteristics. While artists are emotional and emotional, journalism needs to be reasonable and accurate. Therefore, an artist making a newspaper is like an interesting resonance.
Editor, MC Hong Phuc said: "The work of an artist is to immerse himself in the role and emotions of each song. Artists will live and immerse themselves in their artistic works. However, sometimes they are overwhelmed by emotions, making it difficult for them to balance. So, when I became a journalist, I learned to manage my emotions better. The profession gives me more reason, knowing where to stop at work to avoid getting caught up in emotional decisions".
MC and editor Le Nguyen Bao believes that journalism and art always have a close relationship with each other. "At first, when I became an actor, I thought I would find it difficult to pursue a career as a journalist long-term because I was afraid that two jobs would be opposite and difficult to harmonize. However, the more I experience the profession, I feel that the two professions complement each other very well.
I think, every journalist as well as an artist, they love their articles, their words as much as we love our works of art. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that the two professions are similar and have a close relationship with each other".
It can be said that for artists, experiencing the press environment is a way to help them understand the work of a journalist as well as give themselves more experiences, which are better on their journey to pursue art and their passion.
