Three New Civilitas Initiatives This September

In continuation of the Civilitas Foundation’s initial vision, Civilitas will launch an internet news channel and publish a daily newspaper beginning this September. 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.  

The newspaper, an Armenian-language daily, will cover current and ongoing economic and political issues, daily news as well as opinion and analysis. Local and international writers will broaden the coverage and perspective. Content will focus on economy and business, but will also include coverage of culture and sports, social issues and satire.

To augment and enhance content, and to introduce new elements in the public discourse, Civilitas has begun to conduct polls. Measured questions asked of a demographically representative population sample will elicit opinions and attitudes held by Armenia’s citizens. This will give public opinion more legitimacy and resonance and will help ground analysis and interpretation.
