Le Paria, a newspaper founded by revolutionary journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – later President Ho Chi Minh – published its first issue on April 1, 1922 in Paris. Although it operated for only four years, the paper left a profound impact on French public opinion and especially on anti-colonial movements across the colonies. As Vietnam celebrates 100 years of revolutionary journalism, Le Paria is once again being honoured for its significant role in the country’s press history.

On April 1, the Vietnam Press Museum held an exhibition and seminar to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Le Paria newspaper's first issue.
