The meeting held in the Bulgarian city of Kazanlak on Saturday, was moderated by Georgi Lozanov, media expert and head of the LIK department at the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA), who said that the freedom of speech applies more to those who listen and not to those who speak.
In its essence the freedom of speech is the right of everyone based on free public speaking to form their own opinion, said Lozanov.
Also speaking at the panel, Veselina Valkanova, the dean of the Faculty of Journalism and Mass Media Communication at Sofia University, said that media audiences are no longer a mere recipient of content and play a more active part in media communication arrangements.
The issue of truth is very important because it is our main mission to give our audience the truth and accurate facts, the academic said.
On the sidelines of the forum, a cooperation agreement was signed between BTA and Iran's official IRNA news agency. IRNA's Managing Director and BTA Director General Kiril Valchev agreed as part of the document signed on Friday to increase cooperation on exchanging news, sharing professional experiences and implementing joint media projects.
