“Azatutyun” remains loyal to its policy

On May 23, “Azatutyun” interviewed Vahe Grigoryan, the lawyer of March 1 victims’ successors. The program had the following headline: “Bako Sahakyan and Arkady Ghukasyan are key players in the “March 1” case.” (Https://www.azatutyun.am/29957866.html)

This time also, only one side’s, that is Vahe Grigoryan’s point of view, was presented during the discussion while information is considered impartial, that is unbiased, when combined with two-sided facts and viewpoints. The role of a journalist is to ensure balance in such interviews by means of controversial questions. In fact, the journalist did not hide his biased position, which was expressed in guiding questions asked by him.

The “Media Advocate” initiative has repeatedly referred to “Azatutyun”’s biased position, but the latter remains loyal to its policy.
