This is the first time that printed newspaper editions from 34 provinces and cities under the new administrative units (issues dated July 1 and 2, 2025) are exhibited to the public, as well as to a large number of students majoring in journalism and communication, public relations, technology, and event organization.

This collection of journalistic materials, rich in value and significance, is being exhibited for the first time by collector Huynh Minh Hiep, Deputy Chief of Office of UNESCO Research and Conservation of Vietnamese Antiquities.

“Through extensive networking, support, and assistance from many individuals, sources, and press agencies, I was fortunate to collect printed newspaper editions from all 34 provinces and cities under the new administrative units, reflecting the new appearance of provincial press, radio, and television agencies nationwide after the historic administrative restructuring in July 2025. I hope this collection of journalistic materials will help inspire young people and students who are passionate about journalism and communication in the digital era to study, train, and strive to become excellent journalists,” collector Huynh Minh Hiep shared at the exhibition’s opening ceremony.

Nguyen Minh Thang, MA, Vice Principal of Radio and Television College II, assessed that the exhibition serves as an “open classroom,” providing students with a meaningful thematic learning space ahead of the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026 for today’s and future generations of journalists, while honoring and carrying forward the tradition of Vietnam’s revolutionary journalism as it continues to develop in the new era.

The exhibition Spring Newspaper Colors 2026 – A Portrait of Vietnamese Journalism in the New Era also features a talk titled “Tradition and Continuity,” with guest journalists sharing professional experiences, stories of dedication, and reporting practices in the digital age with journalism and communication students.

Vo Thi Diem My, a student of the Faculty of Journalism (Cohort 24) at Radio and Television College II, said: “The opportunity to view printed newspaper editions from 34 provinces and cities after administrative consolidation, along with rare and valuable newspaper pages, not only helps us students look back at a glorious chapter of the nation’s journalism history, but also deeply inspires us toward a career in journalism and communication, with its opportunities and challenges in the near future.”

At the exhibition, collector Huynh Minh Hiep also introduced an issue of Gia Dinh Newspaper—the first Vietnamese newspaper printed in the national script, founded in 1865—dated September 2, 1890, along with many other Vietnamese newspaper prints published years ago that he has collected and selected, reflecting current affairs across different historical periods and stages of national development.
