Express digital growth in Vietnam

Interview with Thang Đức Thắng, Chairman and Editor in Chief, VnExpress

In Vietnam, Large Vietnamese-language newspaers which have long dominated the media landscape are experiencing decline in their advertising and circulation. However, small digital-only news media outlets are sprouting all over the Web. VnExpress, launched in 2001, has pioneered this evolution.

The core of Vn Express' business, explains Thang, is to "Deliver news on the Internet platform and provide business advertising service. (...) VnExpress is pioneer in terms of applying technology to digital publishing and overcoming challenges to crete a solid platform to handle huge amounts of traffic."
