The California Courier is an English-language Armenian weekly newspaper published since 1958 in the United States. Its publisher isHarut Sassounian.[1]
In 1958,The California Courier was founded inFresno, California byGeorge J. Mason (born Kevork Elmassian) and Reese Cleghorn.[2][3] Unlike some other Armenian weekly newspapers in the United States, theCourier was published entirely in English and marketed to an audience and generation of Armenian-Americans whose primary language was notArmenian. The paper's mission was to shed light on recent developments within Armenian-American communities, encourage greater involvement within those communities, and address intracommunal issues impartially, without associating with or being sponsored by an Armenian diasporan political party.[4]
As theCourier relocated from Fresno to Los Angeles in 1983, the mantle of editor-in-chief was passed to Harut Sassounian, who publishes the paper to this day.[5]
