She said that recently, Nhan Dan Newspaper and Granma Newspaper signed a cooperation agreement to exchange experiences, thereby, making an important contribution to strengthening and tightening the special friendship between the two countries Vietnam - Cuba.
In the process of digital transformation of newspapers today, the two press agencies discussed solutions to make the news in the newspaper known to more people and have more impact on society. In the face of bad news, the press has a duty to widely inform the people about the truth.
She affirmed, Granma newspaper always strives to be the leading flag in the journalistic revolutionary cause. Through the visit, the delegation learned a lot of working experiences of Vietnamese press reporters. The heroic historical stories of Vietnam will be the precious baggage of the delegation when returning to Cuba.
She hoped to have many opportunities with Vietnam's Party newspapers to discuss the digital transformation process; solutions and ways to grasp technology in journalism operations, especially prevention and control of bad and malicious information that is attacking fiercely today.
