Topic name: Press and the issue of amending the Law on Environmental Protection (2014).
To clarify the content of the topic, we conducted a survey of 3 press agencies: News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, and Natural Resources and Environment Newspaper.
During the survey and research process, I found that the News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, and Natural Resources and Environment Newspaper regularly organize weekly and monthly special pages and columns to publish works on environmental issues, amendment issues, opinions of localities, and experts on environmental issues.
In general, the reporting process related to the amendment and supplementation of the Law on Environmental Protection in 2014 by the three press agencies has approached and updated the rapid changes in practice. It reflects the management method that is still heavily administrative, mainly based on processes and procedures, not focusing on management according to the goals and results of Environmental Protection. Some new regulations are only at the framework level, not specified in detail, so they do not ensure the implementation factors. Many contents on Environmental Protection are still scattered in different laws.
With the particularly important role of the press in the work of criticism and contributing to the improvement of legal regulations in general, and environmental laws in particular. Through research on propaganda, dissemination of laws, participation in the construction and improvement of the legal corridor, and the work of monitoring and social criticism on environmental protection issues, it can be affirmed that the press has been doing a good job in this matter.
Therefore, the process of drafting and commenting on the completion of the 2020 Law on Environmental Protection has received special attention from the National Assembly, the agencies participating in the drafting as well as social classes in recent times. In particular, the great contribution of "The role of the press in criticizing the amendment of the Law on Environmental Protection" (Survey of Vietnam News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, Natural Resources and Environment Newspaper) has contributed to urging the rapid amendment of the Law on Environmental Protection to suit the actual conditions of our country.
11. Practical application:
Hopefully, with the results achieved during the survey process, recording the reality from experts, localities, and people about the recommendations conveyed through press agencies, News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, Natural Resources and Environment Newspaper, it is one of the sources of documents, a practical basis contributing to helping the National Assembly and experts researching the Law have a basis to propose early and make decisions to revise and amend the Law on Environmental Protection to be more and more suitable to meet the current reality.

Thesis title: Journalism and Issues related to amending Law on Environmental Protection (2014).
To clarify the content of the topic, we had surveys carried out in 3 agents specialising in Journalism: News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, and Resources and Environment Newspaper.
During the survey and research, I found out that News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, Natural Resources and Environment Newspaper usually organized weekly and monthly seminars in order to present works related to environmental issues, amending issues, and opinions of local people and experts in terms of environment.
Overall, the reporting process related to amending the Law on Environmental Protection (2014) of the three agents approximately and updated effectively the rapid changes of reality. It also reflects management practices which depend heavily on administrative orders and procedures.Moreover, these practices do not focus on management methods that take goals and results of environmental protection into consideration. In addition, some regulations are somewhat general without giving a lot of details so they can not ensure the practical issues. Besides, a lot of contents about protecting the environment are excluded in many different laws.
With an extremely important role of journalsim in using counter-argument and contributing to improving regulations in law in general, and law on environmental protection in particular, accompanied by doing reserach, propagandising and popularizing laws, participating in constructing and perfecting legal corridor, supervising , and using counter-argument to environmental issues, we can state that journalsim has been doing well its role in this matter.
Therefore, the creating and amending process which improved Law on Environmental Protection 2020 has attracted significant attention from the National Assembly, participating agents and many social classes. Noticeably, “The role of Journalism in counter-argument to amending Law on Environmental Protection” (Carrying out a survey on Vietnam News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, Natural Resources and Environment Newspaper) plays a very crucial role, which contributes to boost the time in amending Law on Environmental Protection to make it practical in the condition of our country.
11. Practical Application
With the results from surveying process and hands-on experience from experts and local people about suggestions mentioned through agents specializing in journalsim, News Agency, Nhan Dan Newspaper, Natural Resources and Environment Newspaper were one of the sources, and a practical basis helping the National Assembly and experts in the law field have reasons for early proposals and decisions to edit and amend the Law on Environmental Protection so the law will be more and more suitable to today's reality.
