Abstract

This study combined a semi-structured survey and in-depth interviews in order to (i) characterize the gaps in media personnel’s exposure to tobacco related information; (ii) identify factors that inhibited and facilitated positive tobacco control media coverage; (iii) identify the extent to which media personnel opinions and attitudes were influenced directly or indirectly by the tobacco industry in Vietnam; and (iv) identify methods and avenues through which media personnel could serve as tobacco control advocates.
