Press discussion and photographs have been particularly important in educating the public about the Genocide.[3][4] Press coverage is also considered valuable and important because it constitutes primary sources of direct evidence.[5] During the time period, much of the global press had condemned the nature of the massacres and calls for aid of the Armenians. Coverage of the Armenian Genocide was done by many throughout the world and were often similar when depicting the massacres.[6] Many well-known newspapers in the English language such as The Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The Montreal Gazette, and others also reported extensively about the events. It is believed that The New York Times published thousands of articles pertaining to the Armenian massacres between 1894-1922 and 124 articles in 1915 alone.[5][7] Some countries, like Australia, relied largely on news agencies in Europe for their information.[8] It is noted that newspapers such as The Washington Post and The New York Times reported on the Armenian massacres almost daily for over a year.[9] The coverage mainly included reports by correspondents, travelers, and consuls or ambassadors of different countries based in the different regions of the Ottoman Empire.
