Vietnam, RoK journalists examine ways to boost digital transformation
VOV.VN - A delegation of the Vietnam Journalists' Association (VJA), led by its Vice Chairman Nguyen Duc Loi, paid a working visit to the Republic of Korea (RoK) from November 5-10 to exchange experience with their Korean partners in adapting to the digital transformation period.
During the visit, the delegation had professional discussions with their counterparts from the Journalists Association of Korea (JAK) and the associations of journalists of Gangwon and Gyeonggi provinces as well as some other Korean media agencies.
At a working session between the VJA and JAK delegations, both sides consented to intensify the exchange of information regarding the two nations’ situation in terms of politics, economy, culture and society.
The two associations will encourage their member agencies to step up cooperation and offer mutual support as a contribution to the enhancement of information exchanges between the two countries at all levels, thus deepening mutual understanding between the two countries' people.
During the digital transition period, the VJA delegation visited a number of television broadcasters of the RoK such as MBC and KBS to explore the transformation in their operations and information, as well as the ways they overcome challenges in switching from traditional media to multi-platform media.
Vietnamese and Korean journalists also exchanged views on a number of issues such as the role of the press in the new period, and the social responsibilities of journalists, along with the training of journalists to enable them to adapt to the new professional environment.
At present the RoK has roughly 30,000 people engaging in journalism activities while the JAK has more than 8,000 members.
