ANC Australia’s #OnThisDay Campaign reveals archived coverage of the Armenian Genocide

The Armenian National Committee of Australia has announced the official launch of a social media campaign, titled “#OnThisDay”.

This year-long campaign, dedicated to the Centenary of the Armenian Genocide, is designed to better educate the wider Australian public on the horrors of 1915-1923.

The Australian media was a world leader in reporting the massacre of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, which resulted in unprecedented coverage throughout all Australian newspapers of the day.

ANC Australia has compiled an extensive catalogue of these newspaper clippings from Australian archives, including from the Australian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Argus and other notable publications of the day, and will be releasing them on a daily basis via ANC Australia’s Facebook page (www.fb.com/ancaustralia).
