Bulgaria continues to be in 111th in the 2019 World Press Freedom Index of Reporters without Borders.

The text describing the freedom of the press in Bulgaria reads, among others: Corruption and collusion between media, politicians and oligarchs is widespread in Bulgaria. The government continues to allocate EU funding to media outlets with a complete lack of transparency, with the effect of bribing recipients to go easy on the government in their reporting, or to refrain from covering certain problematic stories altogether. Threats against reporters have also increased in recent months, to the extent that journalism is now dangerous in Bulgaria.
