Epress.am is known for covering taboo issues in Armenia through unbiased and objective journalism.
The main topics covered by Epress.am are transparency and public monitoring of the army, mining industry, courts, and prisons. Armenian society considers these topics taboo because journalists have limited access to this information.
Along with news and reporting, Epress.am provides analysis of current events. One of the main activities of the newsroom is the coverage of elections in Armenia.
During the last decade, Epress.am has produced special media projects on violence and fraud during local, parliamentary, and presidential elections in Armenia.
