Sex and Violence to Draw Traffic to the Website of the Vietnam Study Promotion Society

< Yahoo Vietnam Launches TV Ad Campaign, Can Old Way Help? | Vietnam Web Scene on OpenWeb Asia >

Dantri.com.vn is one of the top 4 news portals in Vietnam with sensational news coverage style. Celebrity gossip and trivia could draw attention of teens and office workers quickly. A recent article in automotive section could scare old generation people with some high rated violent photos that you can see in horror films. A Vietnamese version of Pamela Anderson played the key role attacking the patient that parents should tell their kids to stay away from those kinds of websites. Ironically the website is belong to the Vietnam Study Promotion Society (newspapers and magazines must be managed under State owned agencies or Government licensed associations/societies). Actually the website is run by a VC backed company trying to drive readers to its new portal. Using tabloid tactics could be a good choice for digital content companies but much abuse could destroy their image fast.

I was shocked to see the pictures in this photo feature. Although the photos was some what creative, these horror images could appear in blogs or forums, but not an official and formal news site. No need to comment.
