301, The Armenian Report and Zartonk Media to Receive ‘Steve Artinian Visionary Activist’ Award at ANCA-WR Gala

BY KATY SIMONIAN
The Armenian National Committee of America – Western Region (ANCA) will bestow the “Steve Artinian Visionary Activist” award to three Armenian media outlets.
For their continued efforts to raise awareness about the plight of Armenians everywhere, from Armenia and Artsakh to the many corners of the Diaspora, 301, The Armenian Report and Zartonk Media will receive this special honor for excellence in journalism at the 2024 Awards ceremony which will be held on Sunday, October 20th at The Beverly Hilton.
The award will be presented by Fox 11 News Anchor and Emmy Award winning journalist Araksya Karapetyan. The trio honors the award’s namesake, Steve Artinian himself — who was a tireless champion of the Armenian Cause.
301 has emerged as the leading independent multi-media news outlet based in Armenia, Artsakh and the vast Armenian Diaspora.
301 has covered every stage of Azerbaijan’s campaign of genocide, from its unprovoked invasion in 2020, to its aggression in Syunik, and extending through the Artsakh blockade and ethnic cleansing of Artsakh’s Armenian population.
Zartonk Media’s founders Van Der Megerdichian and Zaven Kouroghlian are leading the way in promoting the importance of independent Armenian media by encouraging debate among the many voices of the Diaspora on matters of politics, business, sports and culture.
