BURBANK - Author Maria Armoudian visited ACF Burbank Youth Center on
July 26 to discuss her new book, Kill the Messenger, The Media's Role
in the Fate of the World.
The event was sponsored by Armenian National Committee of America -
Burbank (ANCA-B) and Sardarabad Bookstore, with KPFK 90.7 FM as the
media sponsor.
The discussion was taped by C-SPAN, and will be aired soon.
During the event, Armoudian discussed the horrific consequences when
unethical journalism is allowed to proliferate, as well as instances
where media has protected human rights and helped bridge the divide
among warring factions. Armoudian fielded several questions from the
attendees and emphasized the importance of dialogue among divergent
factions and the relevance of facts.
`The event was a great opportunity for our community to hear Maria
discuss her most recent book and its timely topics,' said Annette
Kargodorian, ANCA-B Secretary and Community Relations Committee Chair.
`ANCA-B is continuously seeking to educate and inform our community
and we were excited to have partnered with organizations such as our
media sponsor, KPFK 90.7 FM, to expand that platform.'
