PanARMENIAN.Net – New Media School project was launched on the
initiative of Zharang NGO.
As the author of the project and Zharang NGO member Karen Vrtanesyan
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the project will feature 4-week free
educational courses-seminars to provide participants with information
on blogs and blogging skills.
`The seminars welcome all Armenian- speaking persons aged 18-35.
Seminar participants will be selected in two stages; 1st -testing,
2nd- online interview. 12 to 16 persons will be selected for each
seminar. The courses will last till December,’ Mr. Vrtanesyan said.
Armenian bloggers Samvel Martirosyan and Artur Papyan will tutor at
New Media School.
In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Armenian blogger
and journalist noted a curious tendency in the world of blogging.
`Blogs are fewer in number, yet those which are still operating got
more professional. If previously bloggers wrote in Russian, increasing
tendency for posting in Armenian is observed at present.’
The project is sponsored by ArmenTel company, providing necessary
territory and equipment.
