HÀ NỘI — Winners of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) Press Awards 2023 were honoured at a ceremony held at the agency’s headquarters in Hà Nội on Thursday.

The ceremony was attended by VNA General Director Vũ Việt Trang and Deputy General Directors Nguyễn Tuấn Hùng and Nguyễn Thị Sự, and Nguyễn Đức Lợi, Standing Vice Chairman of the Việt Nam Jounalists Association among others.

The first prizes were presented to five individual authors or groups of authors. Additionally, there were 15 second prizes, 20 third prizes, and 28 consolation prizes, alongside extra awards in categories like outstanding media digital transformation units, versatile journalists, and dedicated journalists.

Three other outstanding entries were also praised at the ceremony.

Congratulating the winners, VNA General Director Vũ Việt Trang thanked all the staff for their dedications throughout 2023.

She stated that in 2023, VNA produced approximately 370,000 news articles, equivalent to over 1,000 articles per day. Among them, only 0.02 per cent were selected and awarded.

This demonstrates the meticulous selection process carried out by each member, branch, as well as the preliminary and final judging panels of the VNA Press Awards 2023.

Trang expressed her delight to observe a greater presence of versatile journalists in this year’s awards.

“Some winning works in reporting, commentary, and broadcasting are the result of diligent professional labour. Some photojournalistic works showcase journalists pushing beyond their personal boundaries to explore new topics and perspectives,” she said.

She took this occasion to launch the VNA Press Awards 2024. — VNS
