Hồ Chí Minh’s Views on Target Audience of the Revolutionary Press

Tóm tắt

On discussing revolutionary press, the first question that journalist Hồ Chí Minh was concerned about was “to whom does he write for?”, that is, to find the target of revolutionary journalism’s reflection and service, because this answer determines the entire purpose, content and form of writing, as well as the qualities and ethics of journalists. Hồ Chí Minh was always consistent in his viewpoint: revolutionary press must aim to serve the general public; at the same time, each newspaper has its own target of service. The popularity and the specificity of journalism are not opposed or contradictory to each other, but they harmoniously combine and complement to each other, creating a unique characteristic in Hồ Chí Minh’s viewpoint on the target audience of the revolutionary press.
