She noted that most coverage consists of explanations provided by specialists, while mining-related issues are largely presented through questions raised by non-governmental organizations, which, in her view, are not always well-founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1947078695859702%2F&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The expert emphasized that changing public attitudes requires significant effort from both the private and public sectors.

Susanna Martirosyan, Vice President of the Union, highlighted the importance of accurate and professional media coverage of the industry. Anna Baghdasaryan, President of the Club, noted that 120 pieces published in more than 50 media outlets were reviewed, with 18 selected for the shortlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-63.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86558\" style=\"width:839px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-63.png 650w, https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-63-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-63-50x33.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six-member competition jury, composed of sector experts including editors and economists, conducted a thorough and meticulous review before selecting the top five entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-64.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86559\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-64.png 650w, https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-64-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-64-50x33.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gevorg Avchyan of the \u201cAnkakh\u201d website won the \u201cBest Analytical Article\u201d category for his piece titled \u201cTo Attract Investment in the Mining Sector, Armenia Does Not Speak the International \u2018Language.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nairi Muradyan of Armenia TV received the \u201cBest Television Report\u201d award for his report titled \u201cRenewable Energy and the Introduction of Green Technologies in Armenia\u2019s Mining Sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-65.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86560\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-65.png 650w, https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-65-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.armhanq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-65-50x33.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gayane Khachatryan of Factor.am received the \u201cBest Investigation\u201d award for her article titled \u201cWhere Does Armenia\u2019s Gold Go?
