Founded in 2001, Hetq is Armenia’s leading investigative media outlet, with 25 years of experience in uncovering corruption, abuse of power, misuse of public funds, human rights violations, and environmental crises. Its investigations have contributed to legal proceedings, accountability for wrongdoing, and systemic change. Through its reporting, Hetq has helped shape public debate and influence decision-making in Armenia, while earning recognition and building partnerships internationally.
Beyond investigative reporting, Hetq is committed to strengthening journalism through education. Through the Hetq Media Factory, an educational initiative it established, Hetq trains aspiring journalists in investigative reporting and promotes higher professional standards and quality in Armenian journalism.
At a time when access to reliable information is essential to understanding Armenia’s political, social, and economic realities, Hetq remains committed to holding those in power accountable and ensuring that issues of public interest are brought to light. The Boston visit is an opportunity to share this work with the diaspora, hear its perspectives and concerns, and strengthen the relationship between independent Armenian journalism and communities abroad.
