Vietnam suspends popular online magazine Zing News owned by top tech group after probe


HANOI (Reuters): Vietnam's popular online magazine Zing News, ultimately owned by one of the country's top digital groups, VNG Corp, said that it had to suspend publications for three months after a government investigation.

The Communist-ruled country is stepping up a crackdown on media, with plans also to limit social media accounts that post news-related content, which the government says mislead readers into thinking they are authorised news outlets.
