YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. According to the results of the
expert survey conducted in the second half of 2008 January among
nearly 100 Armenian parties, NGOs and entrepreneurial organizations,
the absolute leader among Armenian media in the respect of reliability
is Radio Liberty.
As Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by Gohar Danielian, the
Director of the All Armenian Media Association, which conducted the
survey, Radio Liberty received 173.1 out of 500 possible points and
by about 20 points surpassed the Yerkir Media TV company, which took
the second place and was given 153 points by the respondents. In the
first ten the respondents also mentioned the Noyan Tapan information
center (146 points), the Shant TV company (143.5), the Aravot daily
(138), the A1+ website (121.5), the Arminfo information agency (119),
the Azg daily (117), the ARKA information agency (112), the Armenia
Now electronic newspaper (112), and the Kentron TV company (110.5).
The first ten is followed by Public Radio, which received 110 out
of 500 possible points, the Ar TV company 107 points, the Armenpress
information agency 105, the Shoghakat TV company 102, the Lragir.am
electronic newspaper 101, the Armenia TV company 97, the Haykakan
Zhamanak daily 94, the Iravunk newspaper 87 points. The Public
Television of Armenia received 80 points, and the Second Armenian TV
Channel 86.4 points.
According to G. Danielian, heads of 27 parties, 45 NGOs, 30
entrepreneurial organizations engaged in active work and periodically
using information sources took part in the survey. Their total number
was 102. The latters estimated the degree of media reliability by
5-point system in the questionnaires given to them. The results of
the survey showed that those constantly using media for the purpose of
carrying out their professional activity gave rather a low estimation
to the media reliability: thus, the medium, which took the first place,
received less than the half of the possible points.
The All Armenian Media Association was created in 2007. It includes
40 member-organizations from both Armenia and the Diaspora. According
to G. Danielian, the Association's main mission is to bring to light
all Armenian problems with joint efforts and to offer variants of
their solution. The Association envisages to conduct such surveys
for finding out the rating of not only Armenian, but also Diasporan
media. The results of the surveys will be publicized periodically.
