SOFIA –SABA
Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) Director General Kiril Valchev said news should not be treated as a commodity but as a human right, the news agency published.
The BTA chief was addressing the second day of science readings hosted by Sofia University’s Faculty of Law and dedicated to the 300th birth anniversary of German philosopher Immanuel Kant and the 125th birth anniversary of Bulgarian philosopher and university lecturer Tseko Torbov on Saturday.
"I have suggested that access to BTA's news be made free, contrary to the practice established over its more than 120-year history until then and the pay-only access model adopted by news agencies around the world. Parliament accepted my proposal, which I defended with the simple argument that when fake news is easily and freely available, real news should be equally accessible and free," Valchev said.
