RMIT University Vietnam students visit Tuoi Tre newspaper to explore news production in AI era

During the visit, students from the Bachelor of Languages program of the university’s School of Communication and Design met with editors and reporters from Tuoi Tre’s World News Desk and Tuoi Tre News, the English-language edition of the newspaper, to observe the workflow for processing international news and English-language content production.

Nguyen Thanh Liem, managing editor at Tuoi Tre, said the program gave students practical exposure to a professional newsroom environment and the production process for news coverage serving both Vietnamese and foreign readers.

He also introduced students to Tuoi Tre’s integrated newsroom model, where print and digital editorial teams work in the same space as part of the newspaper’s digital transformation strategy.

Founded in September 1975, Tuoi Tre has grown into one of Vietnam’s largest news organizations, maintaining operations across print and digital platforms while expanding English-language coverage through Tuoi Tre News.

Dr. Le Xuan Quynh, in charge of the program, said the visit gave students an opportunity to better understand world news journalism and English-language media production in Vietnam.

“In the context of the rapid growth of AI and social media, established news organizations such as Tuoi Tre continue to affirm their role through accuracy, credibility, and responsibility to readers,” Dr. Quynh said.

RMIT representatives said students are allowed to use AI tools in learning while strengthening critical thinking, fact-checking skills, and professional expertise to adapt to the modern media environment.

As part of the program, students toured the newspaper’s workspace and met reporters and editors after learning about the process of selecting and producing world news stories for Vietnamese readers and English-language content for foreign audiences.
