It will clarify the types of false information currently published in print media and the current state of its correction. The initial results of the study will reveal the causes of false information in the press, point out the advantages and limitations of correcting false information in print media today, and suggest ways to correct false information in Vietnamese print media in the future. The research results have shown that: Press agencies that prioritize the issue of misinformation and correction of misinformation will achieve higher communication effectiveness and ensure better credibility with readers. 11. Practical applications: - This topic has high practical value because it helps professionals avoid errors in their work. - The thesis also helps managers gain a more realistic view of the issue of correcting misinformation in the press today, thereby making adjustments and building a more reasonable legal framework for journalistic activities. 12. Future research directions: Due to limited research time, the thesis has not been able to specifically "measure" public feedback on the issue of correcting misinformation in print media today. This topic will open up research directions on: Public feedback on misinformation and the impact of that feedback on journalistic information activities. 13. Published works related to the thesis: Currently, there are no equivalent published works related to this thesis.
