The American University of Armenia (AUA) hosted a distinguished panel of journalists and media experts at an open forum on the future of international journalism at a time of massive digital disruption for the news business. The panel featured four renowned journalists and industry leaders, including Lara Setrakian, Maria Titizian, Robert Stewart, and Thomas Kent. 

The event provided a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in a global discussion, which was moderated by Dan Perry, former Associated Press regional chief for Europe and Africa (based in London) and for the Middle East (based in Cairo) and currently managing partner at the New York-based Thunder 11 communications agency. 

The presentations revolved around the rapidly changing global media landscape, examining, inter alia, the question of how small nations like Armenia can actively participate in the global conversation. Organized in collaboration with The Armenia Project (TAP) and Ohio University’s E. W. Scripps School of Journalism, the discussion was informative and thought-provoking.
