The media landscape is vibrant. Television and internet-based outlets are the prime sources of news, followed by social networks, most notably Facebook and TikTok. Print media has largely moved online, while investigative, data-driven journalism, even though reaching smaller audiences, upholds a pluralistic, fact-based debate and calls for political accountability. The Bulgarian National Radio and Bulgarian National Television (BNT) are among the most trusted outlets, the interim report reads.
