The conference was chaired by Minister of Information and Communications (MIC) Nguyen Manh Hung.
A festival for grassroots information workers at all levels across the country
Grassroots information is a form of communication that differs from journalism in that it is closer to the people. It is a force that generates strength through flexibility and adaptability in any situation. The power of grassroots information lies in its ability to reach every individual, every household, through various methods of communication, making it fundamentally different from other forms of media.
With the advantage of being close to the people, grassroots information workers have leveraged strengths that no other media channel can match, providing practical benefits to the public, particularly in rural, mountainous, remote, border, and island areas, reaching approximately 70 to 80 million people.
The National Conference to Commend and Honor Outstanding Individuals in Grassroots Information Activities for 2024 was held for the first time in Hanoi, turning into a festival for grassroots information workers from all levels across the country.
The conference was organized to promptly recognize and honor collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements in grassroots information activities, to encourage and provide a forum for grassroots information workers to network, exchange creative ideas, and share best practices.
At the conference, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung highly praised the dedication and efforts of grassroots information workers. Despite having to juggle multiple responsibilities and working with limited remuneration, they have always excelled in their tasks with enthusiasm and passion, overcoming challenges and hardships.
2024 is also the first year that the MIC organized this conference to recognize and honor national exemplary collectives and individuals in grassroots information activities, to acknowledge their contributions, provide timely encouragement, and spread best practices among patriotic movements in the field of information and communications sector.
The 120 exemplary collectives and individuals are shining examples representing hundreds of thousands of grassroots information workers from across the regions of the country. Whether collective or individual, of different ages and occupations, these role models all exemplify patriotism, responsibility, and dedication to their work, embodying the will, determination, and desire to contribute to the community and the nation.
At the event, SCTV showcased its Smart Broadcasting Product, including the Radio Transmitter Cluster and Automatic Integration System.
