Accordingly, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) will publish 18,000 copies of the magazine each month, comprising of 2,500 copies in Vietnamese-Tay, 14,000 in Vietnamese-Xe Dang and 1,500 in Vietnamese-Co Tu ethnic minority readers. The magazine was published in Vietnamese and five ethnic languages, including Khmer, Cham, Bahnar, Jrai and Ede. It replaces a newsletter which has been published by VNA since January, 1991, the first such publication to target ethnic groups. So far, the magazine has been distributed free to all villages, communes, schools, and border posts in locations inhabited by these ethnic groups and is widely used as a reference for school children./.
