Organised by the Hanoi Journalists Association, the event features 23 stalls of publications that together offer a socio-economic overview of the capital city last year.
The festival, which also serves as a gathering for journalists, lasts until January 18.
On the occasion, the municipal journalists association held a ceremony to present the Ngo Tat To press award to outstanding news stories last year. Reporters from the Hanoi Moi newspaper and Hanoi radio-television secured first prizes at the print and television categories.
The same day, similar festivals took place in the northern provinces of Bac Giang and Dien Bien.
