Connections

DFRLab notes that oragir.live, one of the sites sharing an AdSense account in the network it identified, may be mimicking oragir.news; it does not link oragir.news itself to that network.

To identify mainstream online news outlets, we relied on Pikasa Analytics’ Media Ratings, which rank digital news providers based on audience reach and social media engagement (data extracted on June 13 covers six months). Pikasa was selected due to the absence of reliable and transparent rankings for Armenian media outlets. The selected outlets are: Mamul, Armtimes, Factor, 1Lurer, 168.am, 1in, News.am, Oragir News, Ararat News, and Shant News.
