The LPA is a unique case in the history of the world journalism. It is the news agency and mouthpiece for a resistance force, born in the midst of enemy bombs and growing during the most brutal phase of the war.

The history of revolutionary journalism in Vietnam has recorded the profound imprint of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) as a strategic, reliable information agency of the Party and State throughout the great resistance wars. During the years of arduous warfare, with patriotism, courage, and unwavering will, its reporters were present on all battlefields, vividly reflecting on the heroic struggle of the Vietnamese army and people for national independence, freedom, and reunification, said VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang.
