Focused on building a professional, modern and people-centered media landscape, this year’s forum brought together nearly 70 speakers, including media leaders, communications experts, policymakers and journalists from across the country.
Nguyen Van Thuat, Deputy Director of the Department of Grassroots Information and External Information under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, called for a coordinated effort among all stakeholders to promote Vietnam as a trustworthy nation with a distinct identity that is advancing strongly through digital transformation and innovation.
Topics attracting particular attention included the application of artificial intelligence in journalism, copyright protection in the era of generative AI, promoting Vietnam’s image through the digital media ecosystem, and streamlining media organizations.
In his closing remarks, Le Quoc Minh, President of the Vietnam Journalists Association, stressed that as social media and AI generate an overwhelming volume of information, mainstream journalism can no longer compete on speed alone.
“Instead, journalism must redefine its mission around its core values: credibility, verification and insightful analysis. Maintaining content quality and professional integrity is the only way to preserve journalism’s leading role and ensure its sustainable development.”
At the closing session, the Vietnam Journalists Association unveiled a set of 10 guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence in journalism.
