From familiar print newspapers to digital platforms, Lao Dong Newspaper always maintains its identity as a newspaper for workers. Whether it is in-depth articles on policies, workers' lives, or investigation reports, multimedia products such as videos, podcasts, all aim at the goal of orienting and protecting the legitimate rights of workers.

Every year that has passed is an opportunity for editors to look back on the past, identify the challenges in the digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) era to steadily step towards the 100th anniversary of its establishment, affirming that a revolutionary newspaper will never age, if it always knows how to preserve its core values and constantly renews itself.
