photos, helping it accomplish its political tasks. Currently, the newspaper
runs both print and online editions. The former is published six times per

other localities; the group is estimated to contribute between 30 and 40
percent of the total articles and photos published.
The Editorial Board highlighted the
continuance of the partnership to improve the content of the newspaper.
Poet Dinh Dang Luong, a contributor of Hoa
Binh Newspaper, suggest ideas to build the paper’s content and design.
At the conference, participating
collaborators said the paper has been an important information channel for the
province promote its history and culture, particularly Muong ethnic
culture.
They recommended the Editorial Board change
the user interface of the online version for better reading and searching
experience; cut the amount of articles with too many numbers in its special
printed edition for Tet (New Year) holiday; and invest more in reportage and
writings on local customs and traditions.

Editor-in-Chief said the board will work with the local post office to address
slow delivery of newspapers as gifts, and with the Academy of Journalism and
Communication to open training workshops for the group.
