PenzaNews editor-in-chief Pavel Polosin organized a tour around the office of the mass medium, introduced them to workers and explained what duties each of them carried out.
In the press centre, where the communication continued, the head of the editorial office spoke about the history of the agency, about the structure and functionality of the website, its English version as well as about journalists' everyday work on filling the Internet resource with articles.
The information policy of the independent medium became a separate topic of the meeting, which was informal.
Pavel Polosin emphasized that during the work of the agency since 2007 not a single news article had been deleted from the website due to so-called "political reasons", even though the agency had received relevant requests from the authorities.
In turn, students spoke about studying at Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University, about the photo exhibition "Young Velvet" devoted to the Velvet Revolution in Armenia organized in the art-aquarium of the university, and shared their impressions of the recent events in Yerevan they had witnessed.
The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, finished with taking photos together as a memento.
As it was reported before, the first participants of the volunteer programme "The Pomegranate-Birch Cocktail" were two journalists from Armenia – a journalist of the regional TV company 9 Alik, Tatevik Kostandyan, and a member of the Journalists Union of Armenia, journalist of the editions Asparez, and Woman and Politics, Diana Bakhshyan.
New participants arrived on July 8. For the next month they plan to get acquainted with the history and culture of the Penza region as well as to prepare several interviews in Russian.
