Media has strong impact on many issues in the society. First and foremost, media has direct influence on the awareness of the audience, which will translate into the behavior and interaction of public opinion. Repeated behaviors will become the habit, custom and will eventually be accepted as social norms. Media transforms controversial issues into socially accepted and circulated one among the audience. With the view to prove the dominant role of the mass media in leading public opinion, we conducted the research “Mass media and public opinion about the activities of the National Assembly”. This article is part of the research.

An investigation into how Vietnamese university students in Hanoi experience cyberbullying on social media

Abstract: This dissertation presents a mixed-methods investigation into the nature, consequences, and coping strategies related to cyberbullying among Vietnamese university students in Hanoi. Addressing a significant gap in research, this study adopted a sequential explanatory design, utilizing a quantitative survey (N=226) to assess prevalence and trends, followed by in-depth qualitative interviews (N=8) to provide nuanced contextual understanding. The research was theoretically grounded in the Social-Ecological Model and General Strain Theory. The findings establish cyberbullying as a pervasive phenomenon, with the most common forms being verbal harassment (57.2%) and reputational harm (51.8%). Lived experiences were critically shaped by the digital context, with anonymity, public visibility, and power imbalances (rooted in social influence) significantly amplifying victims’ distress. The study reveals that the perceived consequences are severe and holistic, extending beyond psychological impacts (chronic anxiety, insomnia) to significant academic disruption (decline in performance, withdrawal from studies) and social isolation. In response, students primarily relied on informal social support and avoidance strategies. A key finding, however, is the perceived ineffectiveness of these coping mechanisms, which provided emotional relief but failed to secure tangible solutions or accountability. This highlights a critical deficit in formal institutional support. In conclusion, this research provides empirical evidence that cyberbullying acts as a serious systemic stressor in the Vietnamese higher education context. The findings underscore an urgent need for universities and policymakers to implement formal accountability measures, alongside culturally sensitive support and prevention programs, to safeguard the well-being and academic success of students.

Abstract: In recent years, the media coverage of climate change in Vietnam has achieved significant progress. It has established diverse channels of information, providing multidimensional perspectives on the issue of climate change. Via media, state policies have been implemented in daily life, contributing to changing the perception and actions of the people. The term "climate change" is no longer just a concern for scientists but has become a societal issue. Alongside print media, television, and online news outlets, radio broadcasting is increasingly contributing its voice to the efforts to address climate change. By analyzing some community radio models worldwide, the article evaluates prospects and provides suggestions for radio stations in Vietnam in disseminating information about climate change.
