This article analyzes the current state of Vietnamese law on copyright protection for online journalistic works in the context of the 2025 amendments to the Intellectual Property Law. Based on a survey of four groups of legal tools—self-protection rights, technological measures and information management of rights, reasonable citation exceptions, the responsibility of intermediary service providers, and the direction of building a copyright database—the article points out that current law has made significant progress compared to previous periods, especially in approaching international standards such as the Berne Convention and the WIPO Copyright Treaty. However, the legal framework remains general, lacking specific regulations for the multi-platform and multi-format exploitation of digital journalistic works, particularly regarding technical standards, a clear "notification-removal" mechanism, and a mechanism for sharing benefits when works are exploited secondarily. Based on a comparison of the experiences of the United States (DMCA) and the European Union (Article 15 of Directive (EU) 2019/790) ^[5], this article proposes several directions for improving legislation to more effectively protect copyright for online journalistic works in the digital environment.
