History[edit]

Before Vietnam Television was born in 1970, news – documentaries was one of the genres produced by Vietnam Film Studio in the form of plastic films. In 1956, the Documentary & News Film Studio separated from the Vietnam Film Studio to form the Central Documentary and Science Film Studio .[2]

In 1968, the Television Film Studio was established, with the task of producing 16-mm television films to send to foreign television stations to propagate the situation during wartime in Vietnam. Also from that time, foreign television crews were invited and guided to operate and prepare necessary material and technical foundations for the construction of a complete radio-television studio and a radio-television industry to serve the domestic propaganda work in the future.[2]

In 1970, News was one of the first programs in the first experimental television broadcast of Voice of Vietnam. From that day forward, the official genre of television news was born.[2] Since then, News has always been a part of the television program every night, usually starting at 19: 00. Initially, as there was no storage device at that time, the News program was broadcast live,[3] later it had been pre-recorded. News was broadcast after the children's program Little Flowers (similar to the model of the countries of the socialist bloc at the time). In the following period, along with additional broadcasts in the morning (9:00) and afternoon (14:00), news bulletins were also expanded. When the channel VTV2 was formed in 1990, News was broadcast on both channels in the evening broadcast. The 19:00 news program on VTV2 was broadcast for the following years until 2001, when it was no longer broadcast.[4]

In October 1997, the program News began to be broadcast live to inform the audience with the fastest information, and was broadcast on VTV1 channel at the same time with VTV3 at 19:00 daily. In addition to the main version, there are also Domestic News, International News, broadcast in the morning on VTV1, and the midday news, first broadcast on VTV2 and rebroadcast on VTV3 in the afternoon.

In 2002, along with the expansion of VTV1's broadcast time from 05:30 to 24:00 daily, VTV rearranged its newscasts. At this time, VTV has news at 09:00, 12:00, 16:00, The last news of the day at 23:00 on VTV1; at 19:00 on VTV1, VTV3 and 22:00 on VTV2.

On October 10, 2003, the News for the Impaired Hearings broadcast its first edition on VTV2 at 22:00. In addition to the image and words of the host from the 19:00 News being rebroadcast, there are also subtitles on the screen that are simplified for hearing impaired people to read. From April 1, 2011, the form of expression was changed to sign language interpretation and maintained until now.[5][6]

On June 15, 2011, channel VTV1 broadcast 24 hours a day. Along with that, VTV1 has now broadcast teletext-style bulletins updating domestic and international information at the top of every hour from 00:00 to 04:00 every day, with a duration of 10 minutes.[7]

On January 22, 2012, the program News 19:00 was broadcast from the newly invested studio with modern technology at the new Program Production Technical Center (later the Television Center) building of Vietnam Television Since then, VTV has continuously changed the studio and technology until 2015, it has remained stable up to now, with the studio consisting of 01 main virtual screen and 01 secondary LCD screen. Sub-news bulletins at various times of the day were also broadcast interlaced in the following years.

From December 30, 2013, the News at 19:00 has 2 anchors.[8]

As of July 3, 2023, the Hourly News section at 00:00 to 04:00 has been discontinued.

As of September 5, 2023, the Early Hour News section at 17:00. has stopped broadcasting after more than 4 years of broadcasting and has been replaced by the programme Thông điệp từ bác sĩ (Message from the Doctor) broadcast every Monday to Friday weekly & Nhật ký người Việt (Vietnamese Diary) broadcasts every Saturday & Sunday weekly.

Controversy[edit]

"6 star flag" problem[edit]

At the news broadcast at 19:00 on October 14, 2011, while reporting on the visit China of the General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, suddenly a picture of the National flag of the Communist Party was displayed. People's Chinese flag 6 stars – 1 big star and 5 small stars appeared on the screen. It is known that the current Chinese flag has only 5 stars representing 5 major ethnic groups in China. The big star is for the Han people, the 4 small stars are for the Hui, Mong, Tibetan, and Manchu ethnic groups.

Two days after the above incident, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, Mr. Luong Thanh Nghi, said that the Department of State Protocol has seriously reviewed, learned from experience and disciplined relevant officials this incident.[10]

Wrong illustration[edit]

On July 5, 2018, many television viewers expressed their displeasure when the weather forecast after the 12:00 News bulletin "transformed" the image of the electric pole fire in Hue City (Thua Thien Hue) into the image of a fire that occurred in Hanoi City.

The cause of the above confusion is that the editor unintentionally put a video clip sourced from YouTube, recording images of a fierce electric pole fire that occurred on Ben Nghe Street, Hue City on the afternoon of the day. 3 July 2018 without verification.

According to many TV viewers, the above incident may be just a mistake, but it is difficult to accept because VTV is a national television station while the program producers work sloppily.[11]
