Key national media agencies placed under direct Party management

The above move was made by the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV) during its second plenum held in Ha Noi from March 23 to 25.

This decision represents a strategic shift in the Party's leadership of media and ideological work, enhancing centralized and comprehensive management, while better meeting the public's demand for accurate and timely information in the digital age.

Do Tien Sy, member of the 14th CPV Central Committee and VOV General Director, emphasized that since its founding, the Party has consistently recognized the critical role of the press in promoting public awareness, advancing the nation's revolutionary cause, and serving as a bridge between the Party and the people.

Placing the country's core media agencies directly under the CPV Central Committee not only reflects an innovative leadership approach but also enables these institutions to strengthen their position as strategic players in the cultural and ideological sphere, he said.

According to the VOV General Director, this new organizational model will allow national media agencies to assert control over the information space, protect national sovereignty in cyberspace, guide public opinion, and deliver effective policy communication.

In today's fast-evolving media environment, state-run media must combine trustworthy content with appealing presentation while ensuring that journalists continuously enhance their professional expertise, political acumen, ethics, and technological skills, he said.

With the direct management of the CPV Central Committee, core national media agencies are expected not only to reinforce their leadership in official information but also to renew their influence in the digital era, solidifying their role as trusted pillars of Viet Nam's national media ecosystem./.
