Generation Z, also known as Gen Z, refers to individuals born between 1997 and 2015. This generation grows up during the rise of the internet, social media, and advanced technology.

The “Dong Nai Newspaper Gen Z – Stories of Young People” special section, available on DNNRTV’s website, https://baodongnai.com.vn/, is created to provide an information and interaction space exclusively for Gen Z, the future’s core creative workforce.

The special section features three core themes (Education & Careers - Gen Z Learning & Action, Gen Z Profiles, and Gen Z Lifestyle) delivered in a dynamic, multimedia format, aiming to become a “media rendezvous” and a trusted forum for young people.

At the launch ceremony, Nguyen Thi Minh Nham, Member of the Provincial Party Committee and Editor-in-Chief of DNNRTV, said that as the province’s leading multimedia news agency, DNNRTV covers all four forms of journalism - print, online, radio, and television - along with various digital platforms. To tell Gen Z stories and reflect their voices, DNNRTV needs to engage more closely with this generation through listening, understanding, and creating news together. The launch of the “Dong Nai Newspaper Gen Z – Stories of Young People” special section is therefore not just a journalism project but a sincere invitation to Gen Z.

Our journalists sincerely hope for the support and participation of all students and young people living and working in Dong Nai. Gen Z, let’s ‘make news’ together to create content that not only resonates with your age and mindset but also helps build a vibrant, meaningful media space, contributing to a modern and civilized Dong Nai,” shared Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Thi Minh Nham.
