The Armenian Mirror-Spectator is a newspaper published by the Baikar Association, in Watertown, Massachusetts.[1]
The original raison d'être for the newspaper was to create a vehicle to bridge the growing generation gap between Armenian-Americans since the 1920s. Thus, the Armenian Democratic Liberal Organization (ADL) determined at its 1931 convention to establish an English-language Armenian weekly; the first of its kind. The Armenian Mirror was launched on July 1, 1932, with Elisha B. Chakrian as the founding editor. In 1939, the Armenian Mirror merged with The Spectator in New York to form the Armenian Mirror-Spectator.[2]
