TELLING THE STORY: THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE MISSIONARY HERALD 1914-1918

By Anne Elizabeth Elbrecht

Telling the Story looks at the manner in which the Armenian Genocide of 1915 was covered by two leading American journals, The New York Times and Missionary Herald, and how the plight of Armenians led to a massive United States humanitarian intervention program in Ottoman Turkey and beyond on behalf of Armenian victims. This humanitarian effort led to the Near East Foundation by an Act of Congress. Anne Elizabeth Elbrecht is a lawyer, a seasoned visitor to Turkey, and an accomplished historian.
