Beginning in September, the Civilitas Foundation will launch an Internet news channel, publish a daily newspaper, and conduct polls, according to a statement issued by the foundation.
“To fill the gap created by the absence of consistent research-based analysis in Armenian media, Civilitas is inaugurating CivilNet – a news and research based internet channel that will cover local and regional as well as relevant global issues on a daily basis in Armenian and English. A news program featuring international experts and new local faces, the internet channel will be available both live and on-demand – as a full news program, and as individual reports.
“The newspaper, an Armenian-language daily, will cover current and ongoing economic and political issues, in the form of news as well as opinion and analysis – but where the two can be distinguished. Local and international writers – Armenians and non-Armenians from around the world – will broaden the coverage and perspective of the newspaper and of course the internet programming. The newspaper will focus on economy and business, but will also include coverage of culture and sports, social issues and satire,” reads the statement, in part.
Note, Civilitas Foundation was founded in 2008 by former foreign minister of Armenia Vartan Oskanian.
