Аннотация:
The rapid expansion of social networks has profoundly transformed the contemporary media environment, while simultaneously accelerating the spread of fake news and other forms of information disorder. In Vietnam, the widespread circulation of misinformation on digital platforms poses serious challenges to public trust, information security, and social stability. This study examines the role of the Vietnamese press in combating fake news on social networks, identifies key challenges, and proposes a systematic response model adapted to the digital media context. Drawing on three theoretical frameworks - Agenda Setting Theory, Gatekeeping Theory, and the Information Disorder approach - the study analyzes how professional journalism contributes to shaping public opinion and restoring information order. Methodologically, the research adopts a mixed-methods approach combining document analysis with case studies of three representative initiatives in Vietnam: FactCheckVN (Vietnam News Agency), the tingia.gov.vn information portal, and the Tin Nên Tin (Standard News - Real News) campaign understanding public awareness and countering misinformation. The findings reveal that although the Vietnamese press has actively implemented fact-checking initiatives, public reporting mechanisms, and awareness campaigns, it continues to face major obstacles, including the rapid spread of misinformation on social media, limitations in legal regulation, insufficient technological resources, and declining audience trust. Based on these findings, the study proposes a four-layer Anti-Fake News Model (4L-AFM) comprising early warning, verification, correct news publishing, and public media education. This model emphasizes the pivotal role of professional journalism while underscoring the collective responsibility of the state, media institutions, and the public in building a resilient and trustworthy information ecosystem.
