Remarkably, among the cases that prevented the operation took place in a year, an average of 30% of cases are entirely due to the fault of reporters, journalists.

Infonet quoted expert Nguyen Quang Dong as saying: "Recently there has been positive change in the Decree 159, which stipulates that the obstruction of reporters is handled in an aggravating circumstance, normal administrative handling as before. However, the number of cases covered by Decree 159 is not much in practice, and there is still a gap between legal and enforcement policies. "

Titled " What is the reason journalists are threatened and assault more and more nowadays?", The electronic newspaper of the Voice of Vietnam, Vov.vn wrote, there are many different causes, many cases of threats and the threats that affect to journalist was not handled carefully, as was the extensive information. This has negatively impacted on many aspects of journalistic work safety.

In addition, there is a legal risk in the course of the journalist's career in high risk areas (eg, investigation, internal affairs, or environmental resources). This risk comes from two sides. On the one hand, the reporters are not fully aware of the risks, lack of legal knowledge, and have not received adequate support from the whole. On the other hand, the hidden risks of reporters come from unclear legal environments, information-restricted areas, and the state of theft from government agencies.

Looking to the solution to the problem, the Business Times and Van Hoa Online Newspaper shared the opinions of experts at the workshop, saying that the state should recognize and adjust the press as an economic branch. and operate according to market principles. For the editorial office and training activities, it is necessary to standardize the operational process, focus on training safety skills for new reporters, establish a network of colleagues to protect colleagues ...

Meanwhile, Van Hoa Online quoted Phan Huu Minh as saying that the Journalists Association will organize a campaign to contribute opinions on the establishment of a ministry regulating the ethics of Vietnamese journalists. It is both a guide to the operation and a measure of judgment.

Taking issue in another direction, Hai Quan Online Newspaper has the article "Newspapers in the circle of rice and money". According to expert Nguyen Quang Dong, Hai Quan Newspaper said, from around 2008 backwards, the market released almost exclusive advertising of the press. However, from 2008 until now, especially when the social networking boom, along with the introduction of smart devices, the behavior of the reader has changed a lot. Newspapers are no longer the only information channel. At the time, the main source of revenue was from advertising being shared. In the difficult situation, there appeared a section of the impersonation of the press, borrowing the press to intimidate the business. This situation is extremely severe, especially in localities.
