Dear colleagues, friends, and supporters,

Due to the actions of the current political system in Belarus, including the brutal acts of violence against the protesters as well as participation of Lukashenko’s Regime in the full-scale war of Putin’s Russia against Ukraine, we changed the “Media Dialogue” logo.

From now on, we will use the logo of our partner “Belarussian Association of Journalists”, the journalists in exile, instead of the flag of Belarus. We refuse to use the symbols of the terrorist states in our project.

Dr Wolfgang Ressmann,
Youth4Media Chairman

The effective use of financial resources is essential for managing social and economic challenges like the ones the Armenian society faces. Although this effectiveness can only be guaranteed through the democratic control of the citizens. A prerequisite for that is the transparency of the use of financial resources and governance in general. It is one of the tasks of democratic media to fight for this transparency.

Journalists' Club "Asparez" works on exactly this field, so Media Dialogue representatives met its council chairman Levon Barseghyan who is from Gyumri and has 33 years of experience as a journalist. Together they discussed the recent history of Gyumri, the region’s social situation and the journalistic work of Asparez.

Information war before, during, after and instead of any physical war is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that does not neglect any tools if experience shows their effectiveness. Laughter is one of the basic tools, because it has always been and is effective. Human psychology is so arranged that the ridiculous cannot be scary and vice versa – these feelings are almost impossible to combine. “If something is funny, it’s not dangerous any more,” Voltaire wrote.
