Ho Chi Minh's journalism ideology is crystallized in three major pillars: First, the press is a tool to serve the revolution, spread the truth, connect people, build trust and inspire action. With foreign media, this is the guiding principle - to put the interests of the nation and people first, to promote a true and positive image of Vietnam to the world . A dynamic, innovative, friendly and trustworthy Vietnam needs to be clearly demonstrated through foreign media.
Second, journalism must be associated with ethics and the personality of journalists. In the digital age, when the boundary between information and public opinion is increasingly fragile, this becomes even more profound. Foreign media not only needs fast information, but also needs accurate information, in-depth information, with a humane spirit, demonstrating the cultural and intellectual stature of the Vietnamese people.
Third, the press must be a bridge between cultures, between Vietnam and friends around the world. He always emphasized the spirit of peace, humanity and respect for cultural differences, which is also the motto for foreign media today.
Applying these values in foreign communication today is not a return to old tools, but a renewal of President Ho Chi Minh's revolutionary journalism spirit on the basis of modern technology. From there, each message about Vietnam is a seed of understanding, goodwill and cooperation spreading across the global map.
To effectively promote Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on journalism in the era of globalized media, it is necessary to "activate" that core spirit with modern thinking, tools and methods. Applying his thoughts in foreign media is to revive his enlightened, humane, open-minded nature and strategic vision in a completely new context.
First of all, we need to flexibly apply Uncle Ho's teaching "write for the people to understand, the people to believe, the people to do" to "write for the world to see, the world to believe, the world to cooperate". To do that, foreign media cannot stop at dry news, but must become moving stories, emotional images about the culture, people, history, efforts and aspirations of Vietnam. In a world of many changes, the world not only needs to know where Vietnam is, but also needs to understand who Vietnam is, where it is going - and foreign media is the storyteller of that journey.
Next, it is necessary to modernize the way of doing journalism towards comprehensive digitalization. Foreign media must interact, connect and create an international community that loves Vietnam.
Above all, it is necessary to train a generation of “pure hearts, bright minds, and global vision”, who are not only good at their jobs and understand technology, but also imbued with the spirit of serving the Fatherland. In the era of artificial intelligence, only human qualities tempered by Ho Chi Minh’s ideology can help foreign press not to dissolve, to grow strongly, and to spread Vietnamese values deeply and sustainably.
