The Commission for Journalistic Ethics published a position on the media coverage of acts of violence and their investigation. "In recent days, cruelty and aggression have been a central topic of the Bulgarian media and the public. The information about violence against a young woman in Stara Zagora was followed by information about other similar cases, which are disclosed by the victims themselves or by the law enforcement authorities. We are facing a significant public problem," reads part of the position.
