Editor-in-chief Vo Dang Thien and his deputy Pham Thanh have been suspended for 15 days, starting October 19, the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said officials will review the responsibilities of the two editors for some undisclosed violations at the online newspaper, which covers a wide range of topics.

On October 3, the ministry suspended news site PetroTimes for three months. It also revoked the press card of the editor-in-chief Nguyen Nhu Phong, who had already been sacked by the site’s owner.
