PANEL DISCUSSION ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN AMERICAN JOURNALISM TO BE HELD AT
NATIONAL PRESS CLUB
WASHINGTON, DC - The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) is
pleased to announce that it will hold a panel discussion entitled `The
Armenian Genocide in American Journalism: 1915-2015' will take place
at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on Wednesday, April 22,
2015 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
The Assembly panel will feature presentations by Christopher Atamian,
author and writer for Huffington Post, Michael Bobelian, author and
contributing writer for Forbes.com, Stephen Kurkjian, former journalist
from The Boston Globe, and Robert Ourlian, editor for the Washington
Bureau of The Wall Street Journal. Peter Mirijanian, President of Peter
Mirijanian Public Affairs, will serve as moderator.
The discussion will focus on how the Armenian Genocide has been
characterized and portrayed in American media over the last 100 years.
Mainstream American publications such as The New York Times, Washington
Post, and the Boston Globe extensively covered the Armenian Genocide
before, during and after the attempted annihilation of the Armenian people.
In addition to the reports of the massacres, coverage of America's
effort
to help save the survivors, the first international philanthropic campaign
of the American people in the 20th century, received considerable attention
in the press. As we approach the centenary of the Armenian Genocide, the
topic is being featured in every major news syndicate across the globe.
The panel will be held in the Holeman Lounge, National Press Club, 529 14th
Street NW, 13th Floor, Washington, DC 20045. The event is free and open to
the public. Space is limited and RSVP is required. Online registration is
available here: https://armeniangenocideamericanjournalism.eventbrite.com.
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding and
awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a non-partisan, 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt membership organization.
