On
Thursday 26 February, CDI, in cooperation with the Office of National
Assembly of Vietnam (ONA), organised a discussion between Canberra and
Hanoi conducted through the video conferencing facilities of the World
Bank’s Global Distance Learning Network (GDLN). The format took the
shape of an interview of journalist Graeme Dobell, presenter of the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation’s weekly TV parliamentary reporting program
'Order in the House' conducted by Roland Rich with the audience in Hanoi
adding questions and comments at various stages, facilitated by the World
Bank's Andrew Scyner and ONA Vice Chairman Nguyen Si Dung. Participants
in Hanoi comprised officials of the ONA as well as working journalists
who report on the National Assembly. One feature of the session was the
illustration of various points being made by showing clips of the ABC
program and the Vietnamese TV program 'Thoi Su'. This led to a very lively
discussion of the
issues of quality, priorities and journalistic style and licence.
