The Humane, Humanitarian and Progressive Values in Hồ Chí Minh Thought on Journalism

In the era of national ascent, building a modern, effective, and flexible national governance system not only meets the requirements of international integration but also serves as the foundation for realizing Vietnam’s development aspirations. The proposed solutions - from enhancing the leadership capacity of the Party to completing the rule-of-law institution and applying digital technology - are pillars that help build a transparent, accountable, and innovative governance system, meeting the needs of the people and creating momentum for rapid and sustainable development in the new era of development - the era of national ascent.

President Hồ Chí Minh has entered the “realm of the virtuous,” yet the spiritual legacy he left behind - especially his thought, as its core - continues to demonstrate enduring vitality and illuminating value. The essential foundation of this enduring power and profound value lies in the scientific, revolutionary, and humanistic characteristics of his thought. Systematizing and clearly defining these noble characteristics is an imperative task. The reason is simple: to defend Hồ Chí Minh Thought or to refute distorted interpretations of it - as an inseparable component of the Party’s ideological foundation - one must hold scientific conviction and a thorough understanding of what is being defended. The author has chosen this topic based on that perspective.

Hồ Chí Minh was always consistent in his viewpoint: revolutionary press must aim to serve the general public; at the same time, each newspaper has its own target of service. The popularity and the specificity of journalism are not opposed or contradictory to each other, but they harmoniously combine and complement to each other, creating a unique characteristic in Hồ Chí Minh’s viewpoint on the target audience of the revolutionary press.
