American Hellenic Media Project

We support our sisters and brothers in Turkey who are courageously advocating for democratic, progressive and humanitarian change for our world <3

-- P.D. Spyropoulos, June 3, 2013

The American Hellenic Media Project is a grass-roots, non-profit think tank whose purposes are:

to confront discrimination and bias in the media;

to encourage independent, ethical and responsible journalism;

to confront misograecism in the media, and to address the negative posture of our nation's press and media towards issues of concern to the Hellenic, Armenian and Orthodox Christian communities;

to address false historical revisionism and genocide denial in the media and the academic community regarding Armenian, Hellenic, Eastern Christian, Balkan and other histories;

to harness the Internet and other new communications technologies for the purpose of encouraging a freer flow of information and fostering greater civic participation in the formation and discourse of news and ideas;

to inform the media establishment, the entertainment industry and the academic community about issues of concern to Hellenic and other Americans, and to engage these institutions in an open dialogue concerning these issues; and

to advocate for an open, contemporary, and progressive press and media environment that encourages democratic and humanitarian values, international peace and stability, non-aggression, the protection of minority and individual human rights, the adherence to international law, the non-violent resolution of disputes, and the belief in the inalienable dignity of every individual regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or beliefs.
