When IT and communication in the world develop "extremely well" as it is today, in Vietnam, learning to make online newspapers has become a great attraction for not only students (SV) of newspapers. To find a university class that is 100% online, browse online newspapers and online information, it is the class of e-newspaper students.

Up to now, there has been no class of electronic journalists majoring out of school because the Institute of Journalism & Communication is the only place with this branch and currently welcomes the third class of students.

Off-line learning online newspapers with journalism students

Newspaper class 23A divided into several groups, each group of 6 assigned people "approached" the whole newspaper. I went to a group of students to learn information and study at the Vietnam Electronic Picture Newspaper (by the News Agency ).

BC-TT Academy students study the working process of electronic newspapers

Deputy editor of Vietnam Pictorial Pham Tien Dung received 6 students, plus 7 of me. The first is an interview of students with Deputy General Director. Students actively make questions both easy and . difficult: How does Electronic Picture Newspaper work? How much work and number of employees? What characterizes the e-newspaper site compared to other e-newspaper sites? The level of news update? Online photo newspapers are not high news, little is known, so it is the nature of electronic newspaper or just . website? .

The biggest difference of Vietnam Pictorial (VNP Online) with other electronic newspapers in Vietnam at the present time (http://vietnampictorial.vnanet.vn) is transmitted in 6 languages: Vietnamese , Russia, United States, England, France and Spain. VNP Online stores hundreds of thousands of photos, belonging to many topics and is sold online. Selling for paper newspapers about 50,000 VND / photo, selling to foreign countries (by transferring images of network images) can reach hundreds of USD / photo.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Thoa ( Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Head of the Department of Electronic Journalism, BC-TT Academy ):

"In 1992, the world had the first electronic newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, and since then the online newspaper has grown rapidly. In 1997, Vietnam had the Internet when the BC-TT Institute (now the Academy). advocated the establishment of the electronic journalism and in 2003, the first enrollment school.

The curriculum is compiled based on foreign online training programs. In the process of learning, students are not only trained in the skills of press journalism, but also are provided with technical and informative knowledge such as web design, image and sound processing for the web. Students of online newspapers are always commented by the teachers in the school as dynamic, agile and creative.

In the future, the online electronic journalism (now under the PT-TH department) will become the electronic network science journal when the establishment of the Faculty project is approved. "About 70% of articles and photos on VNP paper are given. upload the e-newspaper after issuing a once-a-month release paper, the equivalent number of articles is only available in the new electronic version.Each foreign language has two persons in charge, the number of VNP Online readers is about 150,000 times / month - so this is a high number of readers compared to many other e-newspapers to update the hot news, more news, more information, more articles . Those are basic information. VNP electronic version that the Deputy Editor-in-chief introduced to the press group of students.

There are many other questions that the students actively explore when they feel the friendly and dynamic atmosphere in the electronic newspaper environment. In one morning, students were able to grasp the operations of producing news articles, processing images online, including the recruitment information, the salary and bonus regime of press agencies.

At the end of the session, Nguyen Thanh Hung (Ba 23A) said, "I noticed that online journalism is indispensable .". Student Nguyen Thi Lien again mentioned the " super level foreign language when working for online newspapers ". SV Nguyen Quynh Chau said: " The structure of the editorial office, how the operation of an online newspaper is what we need to know .". And Student Duong Thanh Ha concluded: " The online newspaper is indeed an attractive environment for students !".

After such visits, study and study sessions, students must write a harvest paper. Although students specialized in online newspapers, newspapers or radio and television are learning electronic journalism, and students always choose the destination which is the leading electronic newspaper in Vietnam today such as VietNamNet, VnExpress , Tuoi Tre, Thanh Nien Online .

Student newspaper - "new life"

Nguyen Nhung (Electronic Network Newspaper 23) confidently said: " The class of electronic newspapers has a reputation in the school, students often present, assert themselves and really blew a new vitality to any activity. The newspaper class has the lowest number of students but the dynamic is not inferior to the classes of writing, radio and television, like my class, 22 SV - an ideal number for a class - there are many friends who have been regular collaborators of newspapers, the foreign language level of students in the class is quite even when the entrance exam is block D, the benchmark is 20.5 . "

Chinh Nhung also had a post in many newspapers, including electronic newspapers. She used to be a campaign reporter of the Hanoi Youth Union from the first year. In the summer of 2005, through cyberspace, Nhung took advantage of the opportunity for Vietnamese students to come back to the country for a summer vacation, gathering to form a volunteer group. And the group of volunteer international students established by Nhung has been operating at Ha Cau Orphanage Center (Ha Tay). As for Nhung as with the online newspaper, the Internet is always an important means that they need to know in their hands.

In the Press courses in Vietnam today, most students in the class have e-newspaper subjects (or online newspapers, online newspapers - the name does not have consistency).

Only Information and Communication Academy has specialized in electronic newspaper. Because of the training according to the target, the number of students enrolling is only about 20 students per class and only for the D class. However, the number of subjects and curriculum for this discipline is not rich, students mainly hold knowledge. basic.

At the Faculty of Journalism, University of Social Sciences and Humanities under Hanoi National University, online journalism (with 2-3 units of study) has been taught since 2002 in all classes. Select the online newspaper, with Nhung, this is a new type of journalism in Vietnam but there are dizzying developments globally. And Nhung affirmed: " Having followed the online newspaper, I am not afraid of trying to study and strive. That is to ensure that I will learn what to do and become a talented journalist at an electronic newspaper ".

At the Institute of Journalism & Communication, the subjects that go into the online newspapers are still less rich, not meeting the learning needs of students - that is the common feeling of the students I asked. Entering e-newspaper, website design, video, noise for websites, news and online reporting . are some of the many specialized subjects that third-year e-newspaper students have learned. So dynamic students have no other way but to learn more by themselves and get into reality.

Just as in the case of Nhung above, Nguyen Diep Chi also said, "is the daughter of online journalism, this type of journalism always requires quickness, combat ability at any time, so it will definitely throw away. both ". But " not afraid of hardship, not afraid of suffering, only afraid of not trying hard ", Diep Chi expressed and affirmed: " will follow the online newspaper to the end ".

Diep Chi is the class leader of the second year online newspaper class, once the valedictorian of the Department of Radio and Television. He used to write a newspaper when he did not attend the Academy. You said: "The school has a website, but there is not yet an information page for students of online newspapers to practice and update their knowledge - this is still an appointment from the teachers. So the students must create their own environment. ". Currently Diep Chi is implementing the Press and Children website (coming soon), in charge of two sections Read - listen - watch and Reportage. It is a way for Chi to reach out to the reality of online newspapers.

Online newspaper students are also " netizens ", because using the Internet with them is a task, a need and a hobby. Online with other online newspaper students, they go online to find information, to compare online newspapers between Vietnam and the world, find out the characteristics and differences of online newspapers compared to other types of newspapers. Other - what the school has not taught students yet . Every student chooses a few high-quality online newspapers to " be a place to study and a daily spiritual food " among " pink " , thousands of purple "newspaper pages, websites are racing to grow .

Ask students how to choose how to move in parallel with the development of online newspapers? Diep chi said: " Establishing and constantly improving skills of exploitation, expression and selection of information and good computer skills, high level of foreign language skills is something that must be forged in 4 years of study ". Nguyen Nhung said: " I like the spirit of teamwork of e-newspapers. You see, in an online newspaper, if you integrate enough media with enough images, audio, video . - okay called multimedia - the skill of teamwork and development is indispensable . ".
