Public e-news page: setting up an electronic database

The meeting

    For the time being, the e-news pages of the southern provinces and cities – Ho Chi Minh, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Ben Tre and Khanh Hoa – have been established and are operating quite effectively. Until now 350,000 people have visited Dong Nai e-news page (at http://congbao.dongnai.gov.vn) though the page just began its test run on the Internet on May 11, 2009. An average of 6,000 people visits the page every day. There were days when the number of visitors amounted to 10,000 people. Up to now, Dong Nai e-news page has helped automate three quarters of document taking and processing system of the public newspaper center. Thanks to e-news page software, the printing is done quickly and easily. Besides, text arrangements are also automated, resulting in a high rate of correctness. In addition, the e-news software allows saving published documents in a print and electronic form scientifically, which makes searching for and checking published documents quicker and more convenient.

    At the meeting, a lot of delegates suggested upgrading the software because the software does not allow extracting the appendix of published documents for printing. So, to make a public newspaper book, it requires manual actions, which cost a lot of time.
