The Hanoitimes - The organisers of the National Radio Festival on June 15 presented 16 first, 32 second and 76 third prizes to the best programs, acknowledging their contributions to the broadcasting industry. Hosting the event for the 10th time, Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) and Hanoi Radio and Television Station (HTV) received nearly 3,000 entries of various genres of which nearly 200 were selected for the final round which took place in Hanoi on June 12-15. VOV Deputy General Director Vu Hai noted that most entries were of high quality, reflecting all respects of life, from politics to socio-economic affairs, morality and lifestyle. These works were all carefully prepared, from script writing to presentation and signal transmission, affirming the increasing role of the radio broadcasting industry amongst various genres of media in Vietnam, said Hai. According to the VOV Deputy General Director, the festival aroused great passion amongst radio journalists who show their devotion to the career, as well as their improved political conscience and journalistic skills. In his address, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan pointed out several shortcomings of the press which need to be addressed soon. He said some newspapers sometimes do not follow their principles and guidelines by providing incorrect, misleading and immoral information, going against traditional norms. He called on medial workers, including those from the radio broadcasting industry, to raise their social responsibility, journalistic ethics, and professional skills to swiftly and correctly introduce Party guidelines and State policies to the people through socially-oriented products. A number of workshops on modern radio programming and application of the state-of-the-art technology were held during the festival. KTDT |
