Through the survey methods and analysis of actual data, the thesis highlights the successes of the propaganda work on landslides and saltwater intrusion in the Party newspapers.
Through this, the thesis has pointed out the limitations in the dissemination of information on this issue in newspapers, such as: the content of propaganda about landslides and saltwater intrusion is mainly disseminated in the form of information, without the development of specific pages, sections, or themes. In-depth analytical articles and expert interviews are limited. In addition, images of landslides and saltwater intrusion have not been given sufficient attention in some newspapers. The quality of the images is not high enough to meet the information needs of readers.
Furthermore, there is a shortage of reporters and editors responsible for disseminating information about landslides and saltwater intrusion. They are primarily responsible for general areas, thus failing to convey all relevant issues related to landslides and saltwater intrusion to the public in depth. Coordination between the agricultural sector and the media in disseminating information about landslides and saltwater intrusion is limited, and information provision is slow, with reporters mainly relying on their own research. Therefore, the content of the reports does not truly reflect current events related to landslides and saltwater intrusion.
Through in-depth interviews with media experts, this thesis provides an overview of media coverage of landslides and saltwater intrusion. Accordingly, the thesis proposes solutions to improve the quality of media coverage on landslides and saltwater intrusion in particular, and climate change awareness campaigns in general.

Through this, it can raise public awareness, proactively prevent landslides and saltwater intrusion in the area, and respond to all situations caused by climate change, minimizing damage to people and property.
