Milen Mitev, Director General of Bulgarian National Radio (BNR), who attended the opening of the BTA National Press Club in Athens on Saturday, emphasized the importance of developing correspondent networks in today's media environment.
"I am very pleased that BTA is paving the way for all Bulgarian media here in Athens," Mitev said.
Asked why it is important for a media outlet to have its own correspondents abroad, the BNR Director General stressed that "the best information is that which a media outlet can obtain itself ".
"Nothing compares to having your own sources. The best information is that which the media can gather and receive firsthand. That is why it is important for Bulgarian media to maintain well-developed correspondent networks, especially in times like today, when it is increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from manipulation," Mitev added.
As of Saturday, BTA will have 44 press clubs. Of these, 27 are located in the regional centres of Sofia, Blagoevgrad, Burgas, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo, Vidin, Vratsa, Gabrovo, Dobrich, Kardzhali, Kyustendil, Lovech, Montana, Pazardzhik, Pernik, Pleven, Plovdiv, Razgrad, Ruse, Silistra, Sliven, Smolyan, Stara Zagora, Targovishte, Haskovo, Shumen, and Yambol. There are six press clubs in the non-regional cities of Gotse Delchev, Kazanlak, Petrich, Samokov, Svishtov, and Troyan. There are nine outside the country - in Ankara (Turkiye), Athens (Greece), Belgrade (Serbia), Bosilegrad (Serbia), Bucharest (Romania), Odesa (Ukraine), Skopje (Republic of North Macedonia), and Taraclia (Moldova), and at the Bulgarian Antarctic base on Livingston Island. Two press clubs are temporary - aboard the first Bulgarian naval research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421) and the Book Fair.
