About Tuổi Trẻ

Major Daily Government-alignedRead with context

Tuổi Trẻ is published by the Ho Chi Minh City branch of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, which is the youth wing of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee also owns the newspaper. The Communist Youth Union retains full control over the newspaper's governance and influences senior editorial appointments and strategic direction.

Operating in Vietnam, a one-party state with pervasive censorship, Tuổi Trẻ's editorial line overwhelmingly echoes official government positions. Reporters Without Borders consistently ranks Vietnam very low in press freedom, noting that all media are strictly controlled by the Communist Party's propaganda bureau. While once known for a relatively bold tone, Tuổi Trẻ has experienced a regression in journalistic independence, with political coverage reflecting the official government line and virtually no content critical of state institutions. In 2018, Tuổi Trẻ Online was fined and suspended for three months for publishing 'false information causing very serious impact' related to a protest law and comments deemed to cause 'national disunity'.
