Abstract
One of the integral and significant parts of Vano Siradeghyan’s literary work is his journalistic writing. Certainly, it is not difficult to detect journalistic layers in many of his short stories as well, but Siradeghyan began to engage in journalism proper comparatively later. The author’s journalistic legacy is quite rich. It addresses both national issues and various historical-political events, highlighting important matters whose discussion he considers vital and necessary for society.
Siradeghyan’s journalistic legacy is characterized not only by its urgent responses and analyses of the socio-political issues of his time but also by a unique style and vivid imagery. This is truly a writer’s journalism, and it is no coincidence that many of Siradeghyan’s articles—aside from their themes and ideological questions—can be analyzed through the same principles applied to his fictional prose.
The range of issues addressed in Siradeghyan’s journalistic work is wide, yet certain subjects remain a constant focus, highlighting particularly important problems. Moreover, the general judgments and observations made in these texts are not only relevant but also enrich and, in some ways, reshape Armenian ideological thought.
Keywords: Journalism, ideology, literary fiction, prose, genre.
