At the opening of the 6th News Agencies World Congress at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, President Rumen Radev stated that the boom of social media has swept away the established algorithms for collecting information, and financial problems have been pushing the media to political and economic dependency, undermining ethical standards and creating an acute shortage of timely and accurate information.
