“In 2023, recognizing the creative efforts from form to content of the entries, the specialized columns on science and technology in newspapers have brought new vitality. The content of the selected press works on science and technology comes from the breath of life and reaches many readers. In addition, many press agencies and journalists innovate their forms of expression to keep up with general trends such as: Convergence, multimedia, multi-platform, digital integration; mobile journalism, data journalism, creative journalism, podcasts, artificial intelligence. Modern press works such as Megastory, Longform, E-magazine... on electronic newspapers continue to be promoted,” emphasized Mr. Nguyen Duc Loi.

Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Hoang Giang said that each work is a piece in the overall picture of science, technology and innovation activities, spreading information and love for science and technology, and passion for creativity. This is also an important information channel for policy makers to make important decisions, close to reality or adjust policies to promote science, technology and innovation activities.

According to the evaluation of the Awarding Council, in general, the works have reflected all aspects of S&T activities of scientists, localities, businesses as well as people; addressing urgent and practical contents of economic and social life. Some works are of good quality, the articles show in-depth attention to topical topics, the comments reflect the requirements and impacts of S&T activities.

Last year, the press focused on promptly and vividly reflecting the results of activities and major events of the science and technology sector, and topical topics such as: Building mechanisms and policies to remove bottlenecks to accelerate the development of science and technology; the impact of the 4th industrial revolution on social life; digital transformation; artificial intelligence; innovative startups...

This is the recognition of the Ministry of Science and Technology in honoring journalists with a scientific spirit, who have made great efforts to research, discover, and reflect the results of science and technology activities in the development of the country.
