Vietnam to have fewer print newspapers, more online ones: ministry

Xinhua, September 25, 2015 Adjust font size:

Vietnam will have fewer print newspapers and more online ones, according to a proposal on national press management and planning towards 2025 put forward by the Ministry of Information and Communications on Friday.

As many as 70 percent of broadcasts by radio and television stations are domestically produced programs while only 30 percent are from foreign channels, Vietnam's state-run news agency quoted the ministry as saying.

Vietnam News Agency, Radio Voice of Vietnam, Vietnam Television, Nhan Dan (the People) Newspaper, and Cong an Nhan dan (the People' s Public Security) Newspaper are expected to operate in the multi- media model, and their TV channels will not use their own broadcasting systems.

Local television networks will become financially independent by 2020, said the proposal.

Vietnam currently has over 800 press organizations. Endi
