Taline Oundjian and the challenges of Armenian journalists while reporting for the international media

Ronak trainee Taline Oundjian writes about the challenges faced by local Armenian journalists when telling stories from home to the outside world. Taline has been a journalist for six years. For over two of those years, she covered events in Armenia for international media as a freelance correspondent. While she has never faced insinuations from editors-in-chief that my coverage is unprofessional because of her Armenian heritage, she constantly feels pressured to choose my words carefully for fear of being labelled as biased. “The more I report on this region, the clearer it becomes that covering something so close to me is a precious asset for producing accurate information to an audience typically disconnected from the South Caucasus. My firsthand experience strengthens my credibility. Then again, all I have to do is stick to the facts. I inherently understand the situation here better than any outsider journalist. My deep comprehension of the threats faced by Armenians improves my reporting,” says the Yerevan-based reporter.
