This chapter also provides a history of the formation and development of graphic information in general and graphic information for the television field in particular, both globally and in Vietnam.

In Chapter 2, the thesis mainly examines the current state of using graphic information in domestic television programs, including the 7 PM news bulletin and TCKD broadcast on VTV1, and a group of international programs including NHK's Newsline news bulletin, Arirang News, and Channel NewsAsia's Asia Today news bulletin. Through the survey of the aforementioned news reports, the author of this thesis compares the use of digital information between domestic and foreign channels and finds that digital information is used more frequently in domestic programs, mainly in the form of data boxes, with only a few using tables and diagrams. In foreign programs, digital information is used more extensively and diversely.
