Le Quoc Minh, member of the Party Central Committee, Vice Chairman of its Commission for Information and Education, Editor-in-chief of the Nhan dan (People) newspaper, and Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists’ Association, participated in and delivered a speech at the event.

The summit touched upon such issues as digital transformation, media brand adaptation and amplification, audience attraction, financial sustainability, business innovation and models, challenges related to journalistic ethics, and the optimisation of newsroom resources.
