Could you tell me, what is the position and role of the press in the business? Over the years, I have worked at the Provincial Business Association, joined the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), I have realized that the press plays a big role in the development of the business community. Newspapers help businesses promote images, brands and products to the public. News in the press also helps businesses capture diverse information, especially domestic and foreign market information, giving businesses more data to shape production and business activities, perfect their strategies. business development strategy. Mr. Tran Khac Tam – Chairman of Soc Trang Province Business Association, Vice Chairman of the Council of Business Associations in the Mekong Delta, Member of the Executive Committee of VCCI. The press helps the business community raise policy recommendations to the State, in order to develop policies and laws for socio-economic development, helping the business community to constantly grow. The press also pointed out the non-standard things and shortcomings in production and business activities, helping enterprises to recognize and evaluate their activities, increasingly improve and develop businesses within the legal framework. the law. Personally, I have many good memories with reporters in the role of a member of the National Assembly, a member of the People’s Council, Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, etc. They help me convey my opinions and recommendations to the authorities, to general public. Currently, the rise of the social network has changed the method of information, brand promotion and image of businesses, weakening the advantage and position of the press. So, does the press still play an important role in business activities? It is clear that when social networks develop, the emergence of transnational platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, Google, Tiktok …, the press encounters fierce competition in both information and business aspects. advertising revenue. I was told by some leaders of press agencies that advertising and communication activities are difficult because businesses have other options. I understand and share with the press agencies, because once such a “cake” or has grown, it is not worth much but must be divided into more parts, the fiercer competition for shares is obviously difficult. more difficult. The press is the ideological and cultural force and also the business units to maintain operations and development. What about the information aspect, I find that with the use of today’s easy media, each person holding a smartphone can post information and express opinions very quickly and diversely. . Some people say that every facebooker can also become a “journalist” – citizen. Thus, the press has to compete for information with social networks, and in fact, there are cases where the press has gone behind social networks. However, I believe that social media cannot take away the position of the press. Despite fierce competition, which greatly affects journalism activities, social networks cannot replace journalism. I still read the press every day because there is official information, with statements, with verification, many issues are laid out methodically, multi-dimensional and complete information has been provided by reporters and editors. evaluation, screening, investigation, thorough interview. For the operation and development of the business community, I can confirm that the press still plays a very important role. So, in your opinion, is the press and business a reciprocal, symbiotic relationship? In the development of the press, businesses also play a significant role, newspapers and television stations attract significant financial resources from product promotion and communication activities for businesses. The activities of newspapers, television and radio stations are also production and business activities. Giving and receiving always take place in the process of interaction for a common goal of socio-economic development, building a richer and more civilized country. The business community and the press are not two opposing forces. Enterprises develop production and business activities, create material wealth for the society, and create jobs for employees. The press reports, analyzes and comments on social, policy and economic issues…, protects the right, fights against the wrong, and ensures social justice. Newspapers and businesses must operate within the framework of the law, especially the Enterprise Law and the Press Law. If operating in accordance with the law, there cannot be a situation where the press causes difficulties for businesses, and vice versa, businesses cannot cause difficulties for press activities. Dr. Tran Khac Tam in a regular meeting of the 13th National Assembly as a National Assembly member. Power always goes hand in hand with responsibility. So, what are your views on the role of the press in today’s social life? The power of the press is the power of public, transparent and fair information, the power of reason and the legal order. In the West they see the press as the “fourth power”, alongside legislative, executive and judicial powers, although this is not constitutional. It is a way of honoring the role of the press in social life. In our country, the press is a sharp ideological “weapon” of the Party and State, a bridge between the Party, the State and the people, an important means of propagating socio-economic development, building construction building the Party and political system, is a forum for the people to participate in social management, monitor power, and realize the goal of a rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization. As society develops, the information needs of the whole society are also increasing. Information becomes a power, having a direct impact on the management and organization of social life, on habits, perceptions, moods, emotions and actions of each individual. Access to information becomes an important need in modern society; in which the main means to bring information to the public is the press and media. It can be affirmed that the more society develops, the more the press and media have a particularly important position, role and mission in the daily life of each country and nation. Therefore, the press must always protect the right, fight against the wrong in order to make social life healthy, for the law to be enforced and to ensure social justice. Reality has proven that during the process of national construction and development, many journalists have been like soldiers fighting corruption and negativity, protecting the weak. I hope that tradition will be maintained and promoted so that our revolutionary journalism continues its glorious path. Sincerely thank you!

S&T human resources are unevenly distributed, the structure and qualifications are not reasonable by region, region and field of operation; most of them are concentrated in the state sector, urban areas, private sectors, enterprises and rural areas are still low… The spirit of research cooperation and teamwork skills of the S&T force is still limited. Some branches and localities have not yet paid attention to and enlisted scientific human resources from the central government. Policies to attract, employ and reward S&T staff are slow to be renewed, inconsistent and ineffective. Some research works are still limited in quality, with low scientific content… Currently, the fourth industrial revolution and the process of extensive international integration have been posing many problems for the development of S&T human resources of the province in particular and the country in general. The explosive development of interdisciplinary, multi-industry and cross-sectoral technologies of the fourth industrial revolution not only brings opportunities but also poses great challenges for construction and development requirements. S&T human resources. Machines and artificial intelligence replacing human power will lead to the inevitable consequence that the demand for low-skilled cheap labor will give way to the demand for high-qualified human resources. Therefore, more than ever, the requirement to develop S&T human resources becomes more urgent. In particular, the process of comprehensive international integration is demanding that S&T human resources have global skills, update and keep up with new trends in the development of science and technology. Facing difficulties and challenges, in order to create a breakthrough in the development of S&T human resources to meet development requirements in the new situation, it requires functional sectors, committees and authorities at all levels to perform synchronously. many solutions such as raising awareness and renewing thinking for staff doing state management of science and technology.

Departments: Construction, Transport, Industry and Trade play a key role in implementation. Currently, the Department of Construction is assigned by the Hanoi City Party Committee as the Program Standing Committee.

That is not only the central task set by the Party and State but also the aspiration of the people, including cultural and human issues.

In his speech, the new Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has outlined 5 specific objectives. In which, human cultural resources (5th goal) is stated: “Fifthly, to build mechanisms, policies and conditions to promote cultural values ​​and Vietnamese people to become resources, an important driving force in socio-economic development; having effective solutions to improve the quality of health care, education and training; attaching importance to developing high-quality resources, attracting and appreciating talents … ” (According to Labor Newspaper).

In his life, President Ho Chi Minh once said: “The people of our country have an extraordinary will because of their self-esteem to live as a human being, not to be a slave. This is also true of our country’s intellectuals. I am passionate about the national culture … Perhaps to be on top of our efforts to develop culture … The current flourishing culture is a condition for our people to progress “(Ho Chi Minh Minh: Complete Works, National Political Publishing House, H, 2011, p. 13, p. 190).

In Uncle Ho’s conception, culture is both the tradition, the identity, the desire for national independence and the foundation of development progress. Throughout the nation’s history, we have waged justified wars to liberate the nation, gain territorial integrity, protect people’s lives, protect the culture built by our father. he.

The government has many policies to support traditional culture becoming a cultural product.

Entering the doi moi period, the reform and social and economic reform policies of the Party and State are also based on the spirit of democracy and humanity, as indicated by the Party’s Resolution of the XIII Congress: “Arouse; adopt specific policies to develop ethnic minority culture; well implement social policies, ensure social security, human security, create strong changes in development management. social progress, social justice, improving the quality of life and the happiness index of Vietnamese people “(According to VOV.vn).

As we all know, many armed conflicts in the world stemmed from causes related to history, ethnicity, ethics, religious traditions … indicating an unsustainable development. Therefore, in the danger of destroying moral values, infringing upon national pride among communities, conflicts have arisen.

American political and strategic researcher, Samuel Phillips Huntington (he was the President of the American Political Science Association) said: “The end of the cold war onwards will no longer be an ideology, nor a The economic cause is the most important source separating the nations, the nations will be cultural conflicts “(according to the Communist Review).

Investing in culture and people not only contributes to creating political and social stability, but also this field itself contributes significantly to the economic and social development. As a specific example, the cultural industries in the UK generate an income of about 112.5 billion pounds / year, contributing 5% of GDP, accounting for 10-15% of the market share of the world cultural industry. In Vietnam, although still new, the cultural industry has been identified with a strategic vision.

In the Political report of the Central Executive Committee at the XII Congress of the Party clearly stated the task: “Developing the cultural industry goes hand in hand with building and perfecting the market for cultural products and services” (according to Communist Party of Vietnam Document of the XII National Congress of Delegates, Party Central Office, 2016, p. 130). According to incomplete statistics, in 2015, Vietnam’s cultural industries contributed about 8,039 billion USD, accounting for nearly 2.68% of GDP of the country (according to the Journal of Propaganda).

Traditional cultural values ​​need to be preserved and refined as a fulcrum for contemporary culture.

From the theoretical bases and actual numbers mentioned above, we can identify cultural resources in the following points:

1. If cultural resources are promoted well, they will contribute to social activities with the spirit of self-awareness. Looking at activities such as: rice ATM, donating masks on the street or donating food to help people in flooded areas … we wonder where all of that comes from? Behind compassion must be a cultural foundation from tradition, from consensus through wars; the creative spirit in the renovation period … It is the humanistic aesthetic values ​​of history, literature and art, from journalism reports … that have contributed to forming sympathy, respectful sharing in each human. “The sense of the people” is both a beauty and a resource that is strongly promoted against difficulties and challenges …

2. Cultural resources are not only resilient power, helping to purify the soul but also contribute to political stability. The spiritual values ​​such as patriotism, national solidarity, independence and self-control … are also inherited beauty, promoting cultural and historical values. This becomes a special “resistance”, a power to protect Vietnamese thoughts and feelings against the intrigues of hostile forces … On the non-traditional security front such as gas change. climate, pollution, environmental degradation, water depletion, use of ecological weapons, terrorism, epidemics, free migration, transnational crime, high-tech crime … The good chemistry hidden in the personality will create solidarity, solidarity, overcoming and overcoming to help the society stabilize and develop.

3. It is thought that science and technology can help increase labor productivity, reduce labor force, reduce production costs, and bring big profits; Technology development can be beneficial to us, reducing our troublesome consequences. However, all those benefits are only to help people have material abundance, energy, time to live with quality, responsibly with the country, with their homeland, to themselves …

In other words, to live more culturally because culture is the human quality of life, all developments are aimed at improving that quality of life: “The ultimate goal of sustainable development, that is Human development, economic growth is also to meet the increasing material and spiritual needs of individuals as well as the whole community.In this sense, cultural development is the goal of growth. economic growth, at the same time is also a pillar of sustainable development “(according to Prof. Ngo Thang Loi, Communist Review).

Culture is the driving force and the resource; Culture is an industry that generates revenue but also a core value of the nation and the nation. Therefore, culture is both a career that needs to be continuously fostered and tectonic, but it also needs to become a habit, a permanent consciousness in each person’s thoughts. To become a powerful country with a vibrant culture, first of all, it is necessary to start with the quality cultural lifestyle of each person.

Civilized living, compassionate living, scientific knowledge, spreading good things to the community are a way of contributing a small part of themselves to the common heritage of the nation, to cultural and spiritual assets. of the country. Affordable, that is how each citizen elevates his or her life with an available resource, with the most powerful and drastic force.
