Another nine employees of the newspaper also received the fund’s awards for their contributions to study encouragement efforts in 2011.
“Dantri/DTiNews has become one of the top online newspapers in Vietnam with both Vietnamese and English versions. It is renowned for its social and charitable activities,” Cam said.
Editor in Chief Pham Huy Hoan said , “Three years ago, Dantri recorded 30 million page views per week but the figure has quadrupled to over 120 million page views per week now. This success is based on the contributions of every Dantri employee.”
