Vietnam - Any big media company?


Just received an assignment from the International Media Management class about writing a case study on a media company that is well-known or that you know well.

I'm really keen on doing research on a media company from vietnam. The thing is the accessibility to companies' information from vietnam is difficult unless you have a close relationship with them. Besides, the number of articles, press releases or even company's reports are not publicly published or if yes, which is hardly the case, are in scarce amount.

FPT or VDC can be seen two prominent companies in the media industry although their strengths are in IT or software commmerce. Not quite happily, the information on their websites just represents company's propaganda (of course, it is their companies) which can barely contribute to a proper case study. They do have several branches dealing with media. Unfortunately, their TV shows are not accessed by the majority of the public if they don't have cable connection. I would make an in-depth case study about them if the assignment's topic is diverted to IT or broadband, etc. I loathe conditional mode though.

So, the alternatives may well go to US or UK companies which I haven't had at all anything called expertise! Reading books for tomorrow and for case studies. LOL.

I lost my key to the room! Can it be the case for 'lost and found'?


Today has been a hectic day with classes and assignments. Anyway I finished them. Give me an applause for it.


Though, I've just lost my key to the room. What is happening to me? This week I've received all bad lucks more than ever. Bad marks for the TV stuff and now got charged 20 pounds for the lost key. They just keep craming into my life.

C'mon! When will this drudgery end? I'm tired.

How do you comment on this reporting?

Report:
Police are searching for a rapist after a 13 year-old girl was attacked in Greater Manchester. The man, who is described as Asian and his early 20s, followed her and pushed her down Half Acre Lane where he raped her. She then ran away. The rapist is described as having a shaven head and a beard, and was wearing a dark hooded top and tracksuit bottoms at the time of the attack.
My comment:
You've made a contempt of court by convicting the man for being a 'rapist'. He is not yet a rapist until being convicted by the court. Publishing the detail of the girl by declaring her age is also an infringement of the Children Act, which makes the child indentifiable, especially in the case of sexual assault. How come the man is described as Asian and any relevant information about him is published without any source of information? Who described it? Was it the police or witness?
