The movement to improve the quality of works submitted to press competitions in recent years has been vibrant and in-depth, effectively serving the propaganda work and political tasks of the province and the country. From the provincial press agencies such as Vinh Phuc Newspaper, Provincial Radio and Television Station, Vinh Phuc Literature and Arts Magazine to the representative and resident offices of the Central Newspaper, the team of professional journalists and collaborators are all clearly aware of the role and value of creating quality, in-depth press works.
From June 2024 to present, Vinh Phuc Newspaper has awarded 160 works and beautiful issues; the Provincial Radio and Television Station has awarded 19 authors and groups of authors with achievements in journalism awards. In the past year, the whole province has had nearly 800 high-quality works published in the provincial and central media. In 2024, the Provincial Journalists Association selected 14 outstanding works to participate in the National Press Award.
Of which, Vinh Phuc Newspaper won the Encouragement Prize of the National Press Award, the Traffic Safety Propaganda Press Award and the Writing Contest "Protecting the Party's Ideological Foundation". The provincial Radio and Television Station won 1 Bronze Prize and 2 Encouragement Prizes at the 16th National Radio Festival in 2024 - the highest number of prizes at a festival. At the 42nd National Television Festival in 2025, the provincial Radio and Television Station continued to win 3 Encouragement Prizes - the highest ever.
Notably, at the National Press Award on Party Building (Golden Hammer and Sickle Award) in 2024, the whole province had 22 entries, 2 entries in the final round, of which 1 entry from the provincial Radio and Television Station won the Encouragement Prize.
Not only making their mark through awards, the provincial journalism team also demonstrates their dedication in practice. Despite limited working conditions, they still persistently stick to the grassroots, remote areas, industrial zones or "hot spots" to record honest and objective information. There are topics that take weeks or months to access documents and verify information, thereby creating in-depth works, contributing to the management and operation of local authorities.
With the viewpoint of considering the creation of high-quality journalistic works as a top priority, Vinh Phuc Newspaper has proactively built a mechanism to encourage innovation and creativity. Every year, the Editorial Board assigns targets for creating high-quality works to the reporter departments, associated with emulation and reward work.
Outstanding topics are selected and supported to meet the requirements of propaganda and participation in press awards. The Editorial Board also accompanies reporters in the process of building and implementing topics, giving comments on outlines, creating favorable conditions in terms of time, supporting access to facilities, completing and selecting works to submit for the contest. All winning works are rewarded to encourage the team of reporters to continue to develop.
In addition, the Editorial Board meets weekly to consider and reward works with good quality, new topics, and creative expressions. Along with that, Vinh Phuc Newspaper regularly organizes training courses, invites experts and high-achieving journalists to share experiences, helping to improve the professional capacity of reporters.
The work "It is impossible to distort the performance of military service" by the group of authors Phuong Loan - Binh Duyen - Kim Ngan, which just won the A prize of the Provincial Press Award in 2025 and the B prize of the Writing Contest "Protecting the Party's ideological foundation in the new situation" organized by the People's Army Newspaper in collaboration with the Vietnam Journalists Association and the Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank, is a typical example.
This is a work that has been carefully invested in both content and form, demonstrating political courage, social responsibility and the spirit of fighting against erroneous and hostile views. The work uses tight arguments, convincing evidence and sharp language to refute distorted arguments about military service, while spreading the spirit of patriotism and responsibility of young people to the Fatherland.
The work not only left its mark in a highly political contest but also demonstrated the capacity and maturity of the provincial journalist team in approaching and handling complex and sensitive political and social topics, contributing to protecting the Party's ideological foundation in the new context.
In the journey of accompanying the cause of innovation and development of the province, the team of journalists always carries within them the desire to contribute, constantly learn, innovate thinking and practice skills to create journalistic works rich in humanity, with social value, spreading to the community.
Actively participating in journalism awards is not only a professional playground, but also a testament to the spirit of dedication, responsibility and courage of journalists, contributing to affirming the increasingly solid position of Vinh Phuc journalism on the national journalism map.
