BTA Presents English edition of Anniversary Book, honours former directors general Panayot Denev, Ivo Indzhev

SOFIA-SABA
The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) presented on Wednesday the English-language edition of 125 Years Bulgarian News Agency. The Real News: Stories On File 1989–2023 at its National Press Club in Sofia.

The event also marked the anniversaries of two former BTA directors general - 80 years for Panayot Denev, who headed the Agency from 1997 to 2002, and 70 years for Ivo Indzhev, who was director general from 1990 to 1993.

The book, which follows three earlier Bulgarian-language volumes tracing BTA’s history, presents 250 news stories – one domestic and one international for each year of the Agency’s existence – and documents the evolution of Bulgarian journalism through the Agency’s archives.

Lyubomir Gigov, who produced the English version of the book, described the volume as “a chronicle – or rather an almanac – of Bulgaria and the world during the 20th century and the first two decades of the 21st”. Although news is often seen as “perishable”, Gigov said, this collection “tells real stories from an eyewitness’s point of view”.

He emphasized that the English version was not merely a translation but an adaptation for international readers, with shorter texts and explanatory notes.
