On Tuesday, the editors of the Da Nang Today Newspaper met with some of their freelance reporters.

The participants spoke highly of the remarkable innovations in the newspaper’s printed and online editions over the past year to make it more interesting to readers.

The Editor-in-Chief, Mr Nguyen Dinh Vinh, said that since the start of this year the newspaper has released an additional publication on Saturdays, bringing the total to 7 per week.  Mr Vinh said that the publications have also featured more interesting sections to meet the diversified reading demands of local readers, including reportages, culture and entertainment.

The Chairman of the city’s Historical Science Association, Mr Bui Van Tieng, highly praised the newspaper’s staff for their great efforts in releasing the additional publication on Saturdays, and for their plan to increase sales of the newspaper’s issues at local newstands.

Reporter Ho Duy Le stressed the need for the newspaper to publish more stories about normal residents and their daily lives, and introduce other useful information for its readers. 

Also at the event, many freelance reporters suggested reducing the size of the newspaper’s daily printed publications, making them as small as the newspaper’s weekend print editions to be more convenient for readers to handle.

Editor-in-Chief Vinh extended his gratitude and appreciation to the freelancers for all their great efforts towards the newspaper’s development during last year.  He remarked that the newspaper’s staff would welcome all comments by freelance reporters in order to introduce even more innovations in both form and content to the newspaper’s publications.
