It is a proven fact that the media has always played a very important role in the society’s development over time, especially in the context of today's information society, Chung added.
According to Hanoi’s mayor, the more modern the society is, the more strongly the media develops, and its role is also gaining increasing importance, contributing to spreading information, conveying messages, connecting the community, promoting the society’s development in all fields.
Chairman Chung emphasized that in the context of information society in Vietnam in general and in Hanoi in particular, there are many positive and progressive changes, helping Vietnam to catch up with the time, but also posing negative issues which need urgent solutions, especially either the traditional media or the new media, especially the social networks.
