Bringing Quang Ninh's image to everywhere

Quang Ninh is not only a tourist destination but also a land of vivid stories, hard-working people and a vibrant integration process. In that overall picture, the role of resident press agencies in the province - important links between the center of events and the public - has become one of the main driving forces for the image of Quang Ninh to reach far and wide, touching the hearts of domestic readers and international friends.

Accompanying in building and nurturing the image of Quang Ninh

Associated with the historical journey of Quang Ninh press, it is impossible not to mention the resident press agencies formed over decades in the province, such as the resident Nhan Dan Newspaper, Vietnam News Agency, Lao Dong Newspaper, VOV, Thanh Nien Newspaper, Tien Phong Newspaper... and the "big trees" in the press village such as Journalist Ngo Mai Phong, Journalist Vu Dieu, Journalist Vu Giao, Journalist Nguyen Dan...

It can be seen that each article, report or news is not simply information, but also an emotional piece, a cultural story, an invitation to tourists and investors to Quang Ninh. Resident reporters are like unofficial "ambassadors", understanding the terrain, environment and people of Quang Ninh better than anyone else. They not only follow each event closely - from investment promotion conferences to traditional festivals - but are also imbued with a strategic vision: Each article must contribute to cultivating the image of the province, creating value and honoring identity.

One of the great contributions to the resident press in Quang Ninh is journalist Ngo Mai Phong. Previously, he worked for 12 years at Quang Ninh Radio and Television Station, then moved to become the Chief of the Lao Dong Newspaper's permanent office in Quang Ninh and is now retired. With decades of experience in the profession, he is a veteran writer in the journalism profession with profound and widespread articles about Quang Ninh. His reports often interweave "poetry" in the way they describe, both delicately cherishing local culture and expressing anger and determination towards negative phenomena that damage the land of Quang Ninh.

Journalist Ngo Mai Phong has a series of famous articles about Quang Ninh - the land where he lives, such as: The series of articles "The fight against illegal coal in Quang Ninh" (2010) surpassed hundreds of works to win the A Prize in the print category at the 3rd National Press Awards. In addition, he also has many investigative reports, in-depth analysis articles on labor, environment and tourism development, which are highly appreciated by domestic readers and local authorities.

Journalist Vu Dieu is one of the veteran writers and has made many important contributions to the field of journalism, especially in his role as a resident reporter of Nhan Dan Newspaper in Quang Ninh. Before taking on the role of resident reporter of Nhan Dan Newspaper in Quang Ninh, he was the Head of the Economic Department of Quang Ninh Newspaper. Throughout his journalism career, he has been present at many hot spots, recording authentic images of the lives of Quang Ninh people, contributing to bringing information to readers nationwide. As a resident reporter of Nhan Dan Newspaper, he has contributed many articles promptly reflecting the economic and social issues of the province, helping to orient public opinion and reflect the voice of the people.

One of the journalists with many beautiful photos of Quang Ninh is Mr. Nguyen Dan - former photojournalist of Vietnam News Agency, residing in Quang Ninh and retired. The events, daily life, production of farmers, workers, laborers, fishermen in the area; images of relics, scenic spots of Quang Ninh province through his lens become more vivid, creating a spread to people at home and abroad, contributing to promoting tourism development in the area.

Not only the former resident journalists, but also the current resident reporters in Quang Ninh of many press agencies have also contributed greatly to conveying the image of Quang Ninh to domestic and international readers. Among them, journalist Luong Quang Tho must be mentioned. Previously, he worked at Quang Ninh Radio and Television Station, he is currently the Secretary of the Resident Journalists Association of Quang Ninh province, and is also in charge of the Representative Office of Nhan Dan Newspaper in Quang Ninh. With decades of monitoring and reporting on political, economic - social - cultural - security events in the area, he always sticks to the events, reflects truthfully, easily understood, avoids bias and goes against policy views, contributing to spreading the image of Quang Ninh province developing with a spirit of innovation.

Typical examples include the investigative report “Strictly handling violations in the implementation of the Ha Long - Van Don Expressway”, which specifically investigated the case of people illegally growing lilies on project land, contributing to urging the authorities to intervene and speed up the progress of the expressway. Or the work “Preserving and promoting cultural values ​​at the Quang Ninh Museum” reflecting the efforts to apply digital technology in preserving the province's cultural heritage, combining tradition and modernity. His series of articles “Quang Ninh - Ideal investment destination” published on Nhan Dan Electronic contributed to providing more information for many investors to approach and learn about cooperation opportunities with Quang Ninh.

During his work, journalist Quang Tho always received help and support from Party committees and authorities from the province to localities in updating information and images that promptly reflect cultural, political, economic and social events of Quang Ninh province and promptly posted them on Nhan Dan Newspaper publications, helping readers nationwide to quickly update the continuous development of Quang Ninh province in recent times.

During nearly 30 years of working, he has won many national journalism awards such as the Golden Hammer and Sickle Award A, the National Press Award C, the Dien Hong Award C and many journalism awards from ministries, branches and Quang Ninh province. He believes that these achievements are due to his own efforts, the support and facilitation of the Party Committee, the government and all classes of people in the province, as well as the active contributions of the team of journalists and reporters of the province, the media cooperation agencies with the province, the representative offices and resident reporters in Quang Ninh province.

According to journalist Luong Quang Tho, compared to other localities in the country, Quang Ninh is truly a “golden land”, fertile for journalists and reporters to freely “plow” in the “information field”. The factors that create the success of journalists and their articles - their “brainchild” - are the passion, high sense of responsibility and courage of journalists.

Journalist Tran Thi Truong Giang is a resident reporter for the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) in Quang Ninh province. With many years of work, she has made significant contributions in reflecting important events and life in this locality. She has always actively participated in reflecting political and social activities in Quang Ninh with flexibility and the ability to handle various types of journalism such as filming, writing articles, and connecting directly on the radio. These efforts have helped audiences nationwide quickly and vividly update on economic - cultural - social activities, national security and defense in Quang Ninh.

Promoting the role of resident press agencies

Currently, in Quang Ninh province, there are 56 press agencies with representative offices or resident reporters with a total of more than 100 reporters and journalists.

Most representative offices and resident reporters of press agencies in the province comply with the provisions of the 2016 Press Law; participate quite fully in press activities organized by the locality; are the extended arms of press and propaganda agencies, contributing to stabilizing the local political, socio-economic situation, promoting and disseminating the image and good traditional cultural values ​​of the locality.

A typical example is Journalist Vu Van Duc, Head of the Vietnam News Agency Representative Office in Quang Ninh - he has been residing in Quang Ninh since 2011, is remembered by readers through his journalistic works imbued with the breath of life, originating from field trips and continuous learning to improve professional skills. With his passion and professional responsibility, journalist Vu Van Duc has made an important contribution to spreading official information, honestly and promptly reflecting the issues of Quang Ninh province to the public.

In particular, in emergency situations, such as when Typhoon No. 3 Yagi made landfall in Quang Ninh, he and his colleagues did not hesitate to work hard and quickly provide timely information to readers. Despite facing harsh conditions such as power outages, mobile and internet signals, they still tried to maintain the "flow of information forever", reflecting the real situation in the locality.

Many resident reporters have been attached to Quang Ninh for many years, so they understand the pace of life, the people, and the potential here. Through that, they reflect promptly, truthfully, sometimes full of current events, sometimes touching the heart with a humanistic perspective; contributing to enriching the image of the border province to all people.

The Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department coordinated with the Department of Information and Communications and the Provincial Journalists Association to organize a press conference in January 2025 with the province's press agencies and resident press agencies in the area.

In the digital age, tourism, economic, cultural, environmental information... can be spread through just one "share" button. Resident reporters are not only the ones who collect and edit news articles, they are also administrators, taking advantage of all platforms: Facebook, Zalo, YouTube, Tiktok,... to convey multi-dimensional, vivid images of Quang Ninh, from the wonders of the bay to the working life and culture of the miners. They closely follow each event of the province to create articles with strategic vision, contributing to fostering the local image, creating values ​​and honoring identity.

It can be seen that they are the trusted bridge between the government and the people. Every time Quang Ninh province organizes an investment promotion conference, resident reporters not only come to record and take statements but also apply their "multi-functional" capacity: Writing articles, taking photos, conducting livestreams, interacting directly with the audience, and collecting feedback. That information becomes useful documents for the provincial departments and branches, and is also free advertising, enhancing reputation on the media map. They regularly update socio-economic information in the province, contributing to spreading the image of the locality to friends at home and abroad; being a bridge connecting the press agency with the locality and the people. There are articles participating in policy criticism; articles with discovery characteristics to help Quang Ninh province's functional agencies promptly handle existing problems, stabilize society, and strengthen people's trust.

Not only reflecting, many resident press agencies have also proactively proposed policies, coordinated the organization of a series of seminars and workshops on green tourism development, preserving bay heritage, improving labor quality, and applying 4.0 technology in seaport management.

As social networks and digital technology develop rapidly, resident newspapers also expand their dissemination methods. Not only writing articles, they organize mini-games to learn about culture, heritage photography challenges, filming vlogs, inviting travel KOLs, food bloggers, and foreign reporters to explore together. Through that, Quang Ninh is not only mentioned as a tourist destination, but also a testament to the integration, innovation, and strong transformation efforts of a locality with great potential.

In every step of Quang Ninh's development - from exploiting coal energy to striving to develop green tourism, from attracting FDI to preserving natural heritage - there is always a deep mark of resident press. They are storytellers, media warriors, market analysts and sometimes community connectors. Thanks to them, the image of Quang Ninh not only appears on the Vietnam tourism map, but also spreads to the international public, attracting the attention of global readers and investors. In an era where each user can be their own "journalist", the role of resident press agencies is even more important, because they are both the ones who understand the source and are reliable information filters, helping domestic and international friends understand and want to set foot in Quang Ninh once.
