The term “news” generally refers to information about recent events or happenings, especially as reported by news organizations. It is typically used to refer to information that is presented in a timely manner and is of general interest or importance. It’s typically reported through a variety of mediums, such as newspapers, television, radio, and online platforms. It is often considered to be a critical aspect of modern society, as it allows people to stay informed about what is happening in the world around them.
People generally learn about information through a variety of sources, such as television, radio, newspapers, and online platforms. In the past, newspapers were the primary source of news for many people, but in recent years the rise of the internet has led to a proliferation of online news sources, such as websites and social media. This has made it easier for people to access a wide variety of sources, and to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in real time. Additionally, many people also learn about the news through word of mouth, as people share information and discuss current events with each other.
A lack of access to the internet can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to stay informed about current events. In today’s world, the internet is an important source of information, and many traditional sources, such as newspapers and television programs, also have an online presence. This means that without access to the internet, it can be much more difficult for people to access the news and stay informed about what is happening in the world around them. Additionally, the internet also provides a platform for people to share and discuss news and current events with others, so a lack of access to the internet can also limit a person’s ability to engage with others and learn about different perspectives on current events.

Men are more vulnerable to trafficking than women; children are protected from trafficking in Armenia. These are the topics of the debates that started 28 November in Yerevan, Armenia.
The national debate contest, organized by the Jinishian Memorial Foundation (JMF) with the support of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, gathered 40 students from six Armenian universities, in Yerevan, Idjevan, Gavar, Gyumri, Goris, Kapan and Vanadzor. The contest gave them an opportunity to improve their public speaking and debating skills.
To prepare for the final debate contest, they were trained by an OSCE expert on trafficking issues, as well as on research skills and good practices in debating.
“The debates create a platform for professional or amateur speakers to exchange opinions and defend their own viewpoint,” said Meline Gevorgyan, a second-year student of the International Relations Department from Yerevan State University, participating in the debates. “It also teaches you to listen carefully and respect the arguments of your opponents.”
The debate participants were divided into eight teams with five people in each team. The two best teams will meet in the finals tomorrow where the winner will be announced. The contest is assessed by a jury composed of NGO representatives and OSCE representatives.
Debate clubs have been set up in several Armenian universities by the Jinishian Memorial Foundation with the aim of promoting civic engagement among students.
