The theme that I chose is “Free press in Viet Nam”.
According to Nguyen Cong Khe, 19 Nov 2014, on The New York Time, “The Vietnamese
government must allow the media to operate freely”. However, there are hundreds of official
media outlets in Viet Nam is owned by government and all controlled by the Ministry of
information and Communication and its local counterparts. The Vietnamese public is turning to
foreign news sources, which is accessible on Facebook and social media. The government is
trying to control by imposing Internet firewalls, however Vietnam has the highest rates of
Internet penetration among countries.
