Abstract

Joumalism and communication play an important role in society and have a big impact on the development of each nation. Therefore, most nations around the world have specific regulations and legal sanctions to manage this business through laws, journalistic associations and codes of conduct for journalists. Legal frameworks may vary, but all journalistic activities have to comply with the existing regulations in each nation. By systematically analyzing the policy tools and through in-depth interviews with scholars and managers working for press - news agencies and government officials in Vietnam - this work provides a glimpse of the state management of media activities in the two recent decades in a communist country with a market economy with its own difficulties and challenges.
