The Museum’s exhibits reflect the history of the press and of Vietnam, honor journalists, and preserve press heritage. Vice President Thinh said: "I believe the museum will greatly contribute to educating the public on patriotism and traditions of Vietnam’s revolutionary press. The museum should keep abreast with the journalistic life at home and abroad and will attract the attention of the wider public."
