LECTURE AT NAASR ON COVERAGE OF THE GENOCIDE
IN THE nEW yORK TIMES AND MISSIONARY HERALD
Anne Elbrecht of Davis, CA, will give a lecture entitled "Telling the
Story: The Armenian Genocide in The New York Times and Missionary
Herald," on Thursday, May 17, 2012, at 8:00 p.m., at the National
Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) Center, 395
Concord Ave., Belmont, MA.
Anne Elizabeth Elbrecht's Telling the Story: The Armenian Genocide in
The New York Times and Missionary Herald, 1914-1918 (Taderon Press,
2012) focuses on two important journals to see how news of the Armenian
Genocide filtered through to the United States between 1914-18. It also
looks at how the American public reacted to such news with a
humanitarian intervention program.
There were undoubted differences between the two journals, as The New
York Times was a leading news organization while Missionary Herald was
part of an institution (the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions) with vested interests in Turkey. However, the flow of
information to the outside world was clear and compelling, especially as
many reports were actually written by United States officials in Turkey
and leaked to the press by the State Department in Washington, D.C.
Anne Elizabeth Elbrecht is a graduate of Wheaton College, University of
California, Berkeley, School of Library Studies, and McGeorge School of
Law. Telling the Story is based on her MA thesis at California State
University, Sacramento. With her late husband Richard A. Elbrecht she
traveled throughout Turkey photographing Armenian churches, a visual
archive now part of the Armenian Studies Program at California State
University, Fresno. She has been a member of NAASR's Board of Directors
since 2007.
Telling the Story: The Armenian Genocide in The New York Times and
Missionary Herald, 1914-1918 will be available for purchase and signing
the night of the lecture.
Admission to the event is free (donations appreciated). The NAASR
Center is located opposite the First Armenian Church and next to the
U.S. Post Office. Ample parking is available around the building and in
adjacent areas. The lecture will begin promptly at 8:00 p.m.
