Hanoi (VNA) - A ceremony was held on June 10 to launch the photo book “100 Years of Vietnam’s Revolutionary Press (1925–2025)”, marking the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 – 2025).
Compiled and published by the Vietnam News Agency Publishing House, this is the first-ever photo book on the history of Vietnam’s revolutionary journalism. It features concise articles and more than 1,000 rare photographs and documents carefully selected from archives nationwide. Each image was rigorously vetted for authenticity, including its origin, date, subject, context, and intended message.
Printed in full colour and bilingual (Vietnamese–English), the hardcover book spans 372 pages in a 23 x 25 cm format, and is divided into six thematic sections.
The book chronicles the evolution and growth of Vietnam’s revolutionary press in tandem with key milestones of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the nation’s broader revolutionary path. It showcases historic turning points, achievements, and the silent sacrifices made by generations of revolutionary journalists. Across various periods, the press not only fulfilled its mission of timely and vivid reporting, but also played a pivotal role in ideological education, public opinion shaping, combating disinformation, and raising political awareness among the populace.
The photo book stands as a profound tribute to the generations of revolutionary journalists in Vietnam, documenting their tireless journey of hardship, resilience, creativity, and dedication. Beyond its historical value, it serves as a compelling testament to the integrity, responsibility, and devotion of Vietnamese journalists to their country and people, honouring their vital contributions to the nation’s construction and defence./.
