ZEF explores newspaper archive in Can Tho and retraces local water related history

Vietnam has a long-standing and rich media landscape, especially in the field of print media. Nearly all provinces have at least one daily newspaper, keeping people up to date on social, cultural, political and economical affairs of their province and beyond. Moreover, local newspapers represent a valuable source of information for researchers. The daily local press offers information on current events, new policies and projects and gives insights into public debates and discourses. Besides, newspaper archives provide data on past events and therefore offer rich opportunities for historical work.
