Bridge bringing policy closer to people

Quang Ninh press, as a channel of official and reliable information, has been affirming its importance in bringing the Party and State's policies closer to all classes of people in the province. From there, it creates a smooth flow of information, contributing to effectively bringing the Party's policies and the State's policies into life, contributing to the overall development of the province.

Effective policy transmission channel

In the journey of national innovation and development, the arrangement and streamlining of the apparatus of the political system has become a key and urgent task, receiving special attention from the Party and the State. The Politburo has identified that summarizing Resolution 18 and perfecting the organization of a streamlined political apparatus that operates effectively and efficiently is a "revolution". A revolution that requires a high level of unity in perception and action throughout the entire political system. Only when the apparatus is truly streamlined and strong can all resources be unleashed, the pace of development be accelerated and the quality of life for the people be improved.

Reporters from the News Department (Provincial Media Center) exchange professional experience in the process of producing news and articles.

With their acumen, press agencies in Quang Ninh have made constant efforts to turn the Party's major policies into familiar, easy-to-understand messages, promptly delivered to all classes of people. The series of articles "Urgent, resolute, streamlined" consisting of 5 parts by the group of authors from the Provincial Media Center is a vivid proof of this effort.

Reporter Nguyen Thi Thu, one of the authors of the series, shared: "When we started working on this series, we were aware that this was a major policy with "revolutionary" significance. The biggest challenge was how to make cadres, party members and people understand the profound meaning of streamlining the apparatus to improve operational efficiency and serve the people better. Therefore, we went deep into reality, interviewed agencies and units and especially listened to the thoughts of cadres and party members to make the story as close and convincing as possible."

Each page and each line of the series of articles deeply reflects the policy of streamlining the apparatus from the Central Government, while also delving into the creative and drastic ways of doing things in Quang Ninh. In particular, the series of articles has portrayed the portraits of typical party members who dare to sacrifice personal interests for the common good, for the development of the province. These stories are not only news, but also a source of spreading inspiration, showing the initiative and high determination of the province in creating a lean, strong, efficient, effective and efficient political apparatus.

Not only stopping at one-way propaganda about the Party's policies and guidelines, Quang Ninh press is also an effective bridge, helping to bring the province's mechanisms and policies into life, closer to the people, so that they not only understand but also truly benefit from the province's correct policies.

As a person who closely follows the activities of the Provincial People's Council and is in charge of the column "Elected representatives with voters", reporter Thu Trang (Thematic Department, Provincial Media Center) has devoted much effort to publishing a series of quality articles, deeply promoting the Resolutions on policy mechanisms, especially policies related to ensuring social security issued by the Provincial People's Council. Among them, it is necessary to mention the series of articles on tuition support policies for preschool children, primary school students, and continuingeducation students studying at educational institutions in the province; policies to attract and train high-quality human resources; social assistance policies for social protection beneficiaries and other disadvantaged groups in the province... which have been highly appreciated by public opinion.

Reporter Thu Trang shared: "Through the articles, I hope to help people access policy information quickly, accurately and in the most understandable way. Not only simply posting the content of the Resolution, in the series of articles, I focus on analyzing and clarifying new points, beneficiaries, and how to carry out procedures so that people can easily grasp. From there, people can proactively learn about their rights and take the necessary steps to enjoy the policy. There are articles where I have to spend a lot of time interviewing experts, People's Council delegates, and even people who have benefited to bring the most multi-dimensional and realistic view. The important thing is how to bring information to the lives of each person in the most understandable way".

In a radiant excitement, Ms. Ha Thi Uom, Cam Thanh Ward (Cam Pha City) emotionally shared: "Before Resolution 21 of the Provincial People's Council on social assistance policies for social protection beneficiaries and other disadvantaged people in the province was issued, my family also heard information from ward officials but did not clearly understand whether the family was eligible for support or not and what the level of support was. Thanks to very specific information on the newspapers and radio of the Provincial Media Center, we clearly understood and prepared the necessary procedures to send to the authorities at all levels. Now we have received timely support from the province, which has helped reduce the huge burden of medical and living expenses.

That is just one of the countless vivid proofs showing that the role of Quang Ninh press is not only to convey information, but also to be an effective bridge, bringing the policies of the Party and State closer to each citizen. Press agencies, especially the province's main press agency, the Media Center, and the electronic information pages of localities, departments, branches, and sectors, have built a diverse media ecosystem, covering every corner of information. From the province's major decisions on socio-economic development, administrative reform, to specific policies directly related to people's lives such as health, education, and social security, all are informed in a timely, complete, and easy-to-understand manner. The forms of expression are also increasingly diverse, not only stopping at news and articles but also including reports, columns, discussions, and in-depth interviews. This helps people not only grasp the content of the policy but also better understand its meaning, goals and implementation methods.

Creating social consensus

Before Resolution No. 21-NQ/TU on investment, renovation and upgrading of infrastructure in residential areas and urban areas formed before 2005 in Ha Long City came into effect, the expansion of residential roads often encountered many difficulties, especially the issue of site clearance and consensus of the people. However, with the acumen and social responsibility, local news agencies, newspapers and other information channels have deployed a series of articles, reports and special topics focusing on in-depth analysis of the purpose, meaning and practical benefits that Resolution 21 brings to the community. These include the articles "Ha Long City: Vitality from Resolution 21", "Model roads in Ha Long", "Ha Long changes from a strategic resolution", "Model roads in Ha Long" by author Hoang Nga - a reporter specializing in monitoring Ha Long (Current Affairs Department - Provincial Media Center); “Spreading the movement of donating land to open roads” by author Le Nam (Readers' Room - Provincial Media Center); “Ha Long City: Roads from the people's strength” - by author Quang Tho (Nhan Dan Newspaper)...

Reporter Hoang Thu Nga shared: "In the past 5 years, I have written hundreds of articles promoting Resolution 21. My articles and those of my colleagues have focused on exploiting many different aspects: From clearly analyzing the benefits that people enjoy when donating land, to promptly reflecting good practices, typical examples in voluntarily dismantling constructions, donating land to open roads. I also regularly follow dialogues between the government and the people, listen to their thoughts and aspirations, and from there write articles to answer questions and strengthen trust. I always try to make each article not only provide information, but also inspire, helping people understand that they are the subjects, the direct beneficiaries of these changes.

Thanks to the synchronous, continuous and diverse propaganda in forms, information about Resolution 21 quickly spread to each residential group and neighborhood. From the residential group meetings recorded by the press, to the "real people, real events" stories in the newspaper, Ha Long people have gradually understood that donating land for road construction is not only to implement the city's policy but also to help make traffic more convenient, improve the quality of life, and create a clean, civilized urban landscape.

Typically, in many wards such as Hong Ha, Hong Gai, Cao Thang, Cao Xanh, Ha Tu, Hung Thang..., hundreds of households have voluntarily donated thousands of square meters of land, dismantled fences, and auxiliary works without compensation. This consensus is clear evidence that when people are fully and clearly informed and see the legitimate benefits of the policy, they are willing to join hands for common development.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan, Group 5, Zone 2, Hung Thang Ward (Ha Long City), shared: “At first, when we heard about donating land to open a road, many people were very concerned. But through the media, through the neighborhood meetings that reporters recorded, we saw clear benefits. Although my house is a little smaller, in return, the road in front of my house is much more spacious, cleaner, and safer for children. Everyone is happy and in agreement.”

Not only Resolution 21, many major policies of the province and localities such as developing transport infrastructure, attracting investment, tourism, environmental protection, etc. have been disseminated and disseminated to the people through the press, helping them to grasp them promptly and fully. From there, people support, agree and actively participate in the implementation process, creating an important premise for the successful implementation of the policies.

In addition, Quang Ninh press also plays an important role in listening to people's feedback, synthesizing opinions and recommendations on policies to convey to authorities in a timely and accurate manner. This creates an effective two-way interactive channel, helping leaders at all levels grasp the thoughts and aspirations of the people, thereby adjusting and perfecting policies to suit reality, ensuring feasibility and highest efficiency.

Over the years, the Provincial Media Center has maintained a separate department to receive readers, listen to their feedback, and convey their legitimate thoughts and aspirations to the government. Not only meeting directly, the Editorial Board also organizes columns for readers to freely write and express their thoughts and opinions. Columns such as: "People's Council Delegates with Voters", "Directors of Departments and Branches with Voters", "Fatherland Front with Voters"... are not only widely received by readers but also considered by authorities at all levels as a basis, a source of information, and valuable documents to handle arising issues and resolve difficulties for the people.

From rich practice, Quang Ninh press has been affirming its indispensable role in bringing policies closer to the people. With its unceasing efforts, the provincial press will continue to be a solid bridge, contributing to building an increasingly developed, civilized and modern Quang Ninh.
