Tert.am celebrates 10th anniversary
Tert.am’s editorial staff on Wednesday celebrated the website’s 10th anniversary in a solemn event organized at Grand Hotel Yerevan.Politicians from both the pro-government and opposition circles, public figuress, lawyers and human rights activists, as well colleagues from different media outlets attended the event to congratulate the website’s leadership and staff.“Tert.am spares no effort in its everyday work to earn the reputation of a credible resource. We are already 10 years old, so the day is a good opportunity for me to first of all express my gratitude [to our loyal readers] rather than to accept congratulations. I want to thank everybody for starting their day with Tert.am, for working with us, and showing trust and loyalty which you developed over the course of years,” the website’s general manager, Aram Antinyan, said in a greeting address.
He said that the website’s long-term plans with readers make it adhere to the standards of high journalisms every day by providing credible information and avoiding misleading headlines in the news flow.
Tert.am’s incredibly successful track record has made it a leading news site, said Artak Aleksanyan, the head of the News Department at Armenia TV. In his words, the website’s editorial policies can be a guideline for many other media outlets in Armenia. “This is a kind of website which can offer and change an economic, political and public agenda in the country,” Aleksanyan said.
On Tuesday, WikiLeaks celebrates its 10th anniversary. The project aimed at exposing government and corporate secrets has evolved from an obscure citizen journalism site to a global phenomenon headed by an embassy-harbored fugitive.
