Yet, in Vietnam, a country steeped in history and tradition, the art of journalism seems to have remained frozen in time, akin to the days of the Cold War and the Berlin Wall. In this article, we delve into the intriguing world of Vietnamese journalism, exploring its unique facets and shedding light on the challenges faced by journalists in this enigmatic landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Economic Realities of Vietnamese Journalism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone are the days when newspapers were the primary source of information. With the advent of the internet and digital media, the traditional newspaper industry has been pushed to the brink of extinction worldwide. In Vietnam, the situation is no different. Nobody buys newspapers anymore, so the question arises: where does the money come from to sustain journalism in this country?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vietnam_20200309_okok-1024x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vietnam_20200309_okok-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vietnam_20200309_okok-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vietnam_20200309_okok-768x308.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vietnam_20200309_okok.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer lies in a curious mix of funding sources. Government ministries and cultural bodies play a significant role in financing Vietnamese newspapers, keeping them afloat in these trying times. Additionally, private envelopes sponsorship, often from corporate entities with vested interests, contributes to the financial sustenance of these publications. However, this reliance on government and private sector funding raises questions about journalistic independence and objectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-risk-in-asia wp-block-embed-risk-in-asia\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mVyrzimGb0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/reliable-news-in-vietnam\/\">How sensitive news is released by Vietnam?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How sensitive news is released by Vietnam?&#8221; &#8212; Risk in Asia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/reliable-news-in-vietnam\/embed\/#?secret=PbjTPdqBpq#?secret=mVyrzimGb0\" data-secret=\"mVyrzimGb0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Struggles of Vietnamese Journalists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most striking aspects of Vietnamese journalism is the absence of professional journalists as we know them in Western countries. The salary for journalists in Vietnam hovers around a meager $350 per month. This paltry sum serves as a stark reminder of the economic challenges faced by those pursuing a career in journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"rcp_restricted\"><p>Vietnamese journalism is trapped in the past, reliant on government funding, and lacking independence.
