HÀ NỘI — A digital copy of every news and feature story published on online newspapers must be kept unchanged for at least one year, the Government has said. This is part of the Government’s decision to store an electronic depository for the press, which includes radio, television and online newspapers. As per the decision, the Ministry of Information and Communications will set up a data stockpile to keep electronic depositories of stories and products in radio, television and online newspapers. The digital copies of stories and products published on radio and television must remain unchanged for at least six months from the date of first broadcast, while that of online newspapers must be maintained for at least a year from the first date of publication. Such stories affect society negatively, he said, adding that some newspapers used information provided on websites or social media without verifying the information.
