The California Courier
The California Courier is an English-language Armenian weekly newspaper published since 1958 in United States. The publisher of the weekly is Harut Sassounian.
History
In 1958, the California Courier was founded in Fresno, California by George J. Mason (Born Kevork Elmassian) and Reese Cleghorn.[1] Unlike some other Armenian weekly newspapers in the United States, the California Courier was published entirely in English and marketed to an audience and generation of Armenian-Americans whose primary language was not Armenian. The paper's mission was to shed light on recent developments within Armenian-American communities, encourage greater involvement within those communities, and address intracommunal issues impartially, without associating with or being sponsored by an Armenian diasporan political party.[2]
As the Courier relocated from Fresno to Los Angeles in 1983, the mantle of editor-in-chief was passed to Harut Sassounian, who publishes the paper to this day.
