Journalism-Communication studies Tuesday, 18:50 18-05-2021

In western countries, the communication targeted to ethnic minorities is conducted by and for (1) immigrants, (2) ethnic minorities with regards to race, nation and language, (3) native communities of different size from small communities, families, small and medium enterprises to profit and non-profit multinational corporations. This communication includes information about their communities in the resident country, in their home country and it is either in their mother language or local language. The media exists in different forms from print to internet and is suitable to the size of the media organizations and the need for information by the communities. It is important to develop the theoretical and practical understanding of these minority groups in order to devise the policies for Vietnam.

Fundamental theoretical concepts related to brand building and online brand management

Abstract: Social media is an integral part of people’s lives, particularly among the young generation. When social media expands, it creates a “miniature society”, allowing businesses to develop their brands. Aside from the benefits of social media (e.g. increased brand awareness, lower communication costs, easier interaction between customers and firms), brand management on social media is an urgent issue that attracts many modern media strategic managers’ attention. Basic theoretical issues such as concepts, brand equity, and online corporate brand management activities will be discussed in this article.
