Vai trò của báo chí trong bảo vệ an ninh quốc gia trên không gian số tại Việt Nam

This article examines the leading role of Vietnam’s revolutionary press in defending the Party’s ideological foundation, protecting information sovereignty, and addressing non-traditional security challenges such as fake news, deepfake technology, and public opinion manipulation campaigns. Employing document analysis and drawing upon media ecology theory and securitization theory, the study provides preliminary evidence that the press is increasingly assuming the function of information counterintelligence in the digital environment. The findings indicate that the Vietnamese press’s capacity to safeguard national security is currently constrained by two major challenges: the de- clining financial resources of press organizations and their growing dependence on cross-border digital media plat- forms for content distribution. Accordingly, the article proposes measures to strengthen national information security by ensuring sustainable resources for press development, enhancing technological autonomy, improving the governance framework for cyberspace, and promoting public media literacy.
