Le Huong Hoa, Dinh Tran Ngoc Huy, Nguyen Trong Diep and Ta Van Thanh hoalehuong@yahoo.com;...In recent years, many newspapers, magazines, and journals take advantage of their scope of publishing to publish many fake news or untruth online information/news,, which caused many troubles and misleading for public/community/society. This paper objective is to express this issue (untruth online information/news publishing) via a sampling case in Vietnam (for example, Thanh Nien newspaper, thanhnien.vn and tuoitre.vn during 2015-2022 or later on, vietnamnet.vn and giaoduc.edu.vn in 2022) and to give out recommendations for standards of editors and newspapers writers. Besides, it will compare some previous studies on the same topic. For instance, Harvard Law school or Yale Law school also did some analysis on such topics. Also, we will present views of President Ho Chi Minh and his ideologies in publication. The study finds out that there are some assumptions on their misleading behaviors of publishing fake news: First assumption: is that they can be affected by the 3rd parties; Second assumption: is money corruption (money under tables); Third assumption: there is mixed reasons of political reason and economic reason; Four assumptions: is influential model, Influential models of social information processing suggest there are different routes to persuasion. Also, we give suggestions for educating students in journalism. The reason is that publishing fake news may lead to wrong concepts and wrong thinking for readers and violate national publishing laws. Finally, we also discuss several ways of fine or handling these kinds of internet crime.
