Philosophy of communication and its role to the media in the industrial revolution 4.0

Journalism-Communication theory Wednesday, 17:00 22-09-2021

Abstract: As a form of consciousness about methodology, philosophy became the foundation for constructing media theories right from the beginning. In the history of Media studies, the theory of liberal media born during the bourgeois revolution in 17th century and the Frankfurt school about the power of science and media created in early 20th century in post-industrial context are two prominent theories about the power of media, science and technology. They in turn contributed to the formation of social consciousness, which influenced social life as well as social reality. In this aspect, it is important to clarify the power of philosophy about media from fundamental theories in the world to find out the implications for Vietnam in the current industrial revolution 4.0.

Application of Ho Chi Minh’s thought on “taking the people as the root” in building the “people’s hearts and minds posture”, consolidating national defense, and firmly protecting socialist Vietnam in new period

Communist Review - President Ho Chi Minh’s thought on "taking the people as the root” had paramount significance, serving as the guiding star for the Communist Party of Vietnam to lead the revolution. This mindset inherited and promoted Vietnam’s thousand-year-old history of national construction and defense and the Marxist-Leninist perspective on the role of the people in history. It should continue to be creatively applied to the cause of national construction and defense in the new period.
