02438348033 Philosophy of communication and its role to the media in the industrial revolution 4.0
Abstract: As a form of consciousness about methodology, philosophy became the foundation for constructing media theories right from the beginning. In the history of Media studies, the theory of liberal media born during the bourgeois revolution in 17th century and the Frankfurt school about the power of science and media created in early 20th century in post-industrial context are two prominent theories about the power of media, science and technology. They in turn contributed to the formation of social consciousness, which influenced social life as well as social reality. In this aspect, it is important to clarify the power of philosophy about media from fundamental theories in the world to find out the implications for Vietnam in the current industrial revolution 4.0.

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.
Developing Vietnamese journalism in the age of artificial intelligence (AI)
Developing Vietnamese journalism in the age of artificial intelligence (AI)
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming one of the key technologies profoundly transforming many areas of socio-economic life, including journalism. With its superior ability to collect, analyze, and process data, AI opens up significant opportunities to innovate methods of producing, distributing, and accessing information. For Vietnamese journalism, leveraging the power of AI is not only an inevitable trend but also a strategic solution to keep pace with the times, improve the quality of information, and serve the public more effectively.
