Editorial Standards
Accuracy, fairness and transparency are the foundation of everything News Bulgaria publishes. These standards are our promise so that readers can trust what they read on News Bulgaria.
Fact-checking and sources
- Official sources first — We prioritize primary sources such as announcements and statistics from governments, public institutions and international organizations.
- Cross-checking — News articles are published only after facts have been checked across several independent sources. We never use unverified figures, institutions or quotes.
- Source records — The sources behind each article are kept in our internal records so that we can review and verify our reporting.
Fairness
We do not speak for any political party, company or group. On disputed issues we report official positions and confirmed facts in a balanced way, and we keep facts separate from interpretation and outlook.
Use of artificial intelligence (AI)
Our editorial team uses AI tools to organize material and to write in multiple languages, and each language edition is written natively. AI-assisted articles are held to the same sourcing rules and quality checks, and anything that falls short is not published.
Corrections
When an error is confirmed, we fix it promptly and note significant corrections in the article. Requests for corrections or replies are welcome through Tips & Contact.
Advertising and news are separate
Advertising and partnerships do not influence which stories we cover or what they say, and ads are clearly marked as distinct from articles.
Privacy and human rights
We do not publish information that identifies private individuals, such as their names, faces or contact details, and we avoid defamatory or discriminatory language.
