Love a fellow journalist

From classmate to colleague

We went to the same high school and were in the same group of close friends. Hearing that, many people would think that this was a student love story that grew over the years. But no, our love did not start when we were still in school.

After graduating from high school, without prior arrangement or discussion, we both chose to study Journalism. I studied at college, while he chose the longer path of university. Because we studied in the same major, the discussions about assignments and the times of "saving each other" from deadlines gradually became familiar. Our relationship became even closer.

The day I graduated, he was still just a close friend standing next to me congratulating me.

Because I went to college, I graduated early and chose to work at Binh Phuoc Radio - Television and Newspaper (BPTV) as an announcer - a job that I really love. Realizing that this was a suitable environment, and that they were recruiting collaborators, I suggested that person come to Binh Phuoc for an internship. But honestly, at that time, I simply thought that I wanted to help a close friend.

I proactively found a room for her in advance, texted her everything she needed in her profile, and instructed her in the smallest details just to make sure she could do her internship in Binh Phuoc as a reporter. So once again, we had the opportunity to meet each other regularly. That intern reporter gave me advice on my professional skills, and I was enthusiastic and willing to stay up all night with her to complete her internship report. Gradually, we became a part of each other's lives and work without realizing it.

When you love each other and love the same job

Since we fell in love, perhaps the best thing is that we both love our jobs and work together. Working together at BPTV, we accompany each other in every news, article, and report, overcoming the pressures of work together. The days when we both “sparked” the topic and eagerly started working on it, the times when the reporter helped me edit the script, the times when we went to film together, the times when we worked together on location… all became very special memories.

We are not just a couple, but part of the BPTV family.

There were times of fatigue, arguments, and even anger, but the biggest thing that kept us together, besides our friendship, was probably our respect for each other at work and our willingness to listen. From then on, we believed that: Love and journalism seem to be two parallel lines, but if we love, understand, and move forward together, they can intersect in the simplest place: the heart of a journalist.

The staff at the station often joke: "BPTV has another couple to inherit the agency's tradition!" Because there are many couples who work together and are committed to the profession. Some couples have even raised children who have the same passion for journalism as their parents.

From people who support each other in the office… to people who will walk together through every journey ahead

From classmates to close friends, then colleagues and lovers, a journey that is not rushed, not flashy, but full of sincerity and quiet attachment. We are still continuing to write that story with passion, with evenings of meeting deadlines, editing papers and even weekends wandering somewhere just to recharge our inspiration, together overcoming the pressures.

Now, every day we go on air together, go to the field and write a love story that is both noisy and quiet... in a very journalistic way.
