In recent years, Nhan Dan Newspaper has made a strong push in digital transformation and newsroom convergence is one of the key measures to realise that strategy.
Covering more than 400 square metres, the converged newsroom is the shared working space of more than 70 staff, reporters and editors of Nhan Dan Online.
The converged newsroom is expected to maximise resources to produce news in an integrated and flexible manner that targets different platforms and audiences.
According to Nhan Dan’s Editor-in-chief Le Quoc Minh, the converged newsroom is one of the newspaper’s recent innovations that will enhance productivity and provide news services on multiple platforms.
The electronic version of Nhan Dan officially went online on June 21, 1998, becoming the first online newspaper in Vietnam. Besides the Vietnamese version, the newspaper is also available on the web in English, Chinese, French and Spanish.
In the past 25 years, Nhan Dan Online has successfully fulfilled its mission of disseminating the Party and State’s policies as well as covering all aspects of Vietnam’s social and economic life.
