Another comment of mine in Media.am. Check the actual article here and also check the Armenian version. Copying the article below. 

There are two types of news: hard and soft. Hard news is Armenia’s National Assembly adopting a law, the municipal water pipes bursting, Kim Kardashian getting naked, or an important figure receiving an award or making a discovery.

I’m emphasizing this, in particular, to be convinced that we’re on the same page, that when Kim Kardashian appears naked, this is hard news — the news can’t wait; people have to know immediately what happened; and if the news about her “getting naked” is delayed, it will lose its urgency and in the next second won’t have any news value.

I read somewhere that writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. Well, I would confess that the need to write sometimes is as essential as breathing a fresh air. And even though most of my writings stay private, I still share in my blog whatever I come across and find interesting to store somewhere in order not to lose it. For that reason lots of my posts are about what I currently read, experience or observe. I also share what I find beautiful in this modern delight of mine (the blog) that has grown to a hobby for the last 8 years. Sincerely Shushan Harutyunyan (blansh) A person who loves being a writer, but can't stand the paperwork (c) :)))
