BG BEN Newspaper (Bulgarian: Вестник БГ БЕН) is the most widely circulated Bulgarian newspaper in the United Kingdom. It is printed every two weeks (26 issues yearly) on 48 pages, in 6,000 copies.[1]
Purposes[edit]
The newspaper's goal is the consolidation of the Bulgarian community, and the distribution of professional advice and news.[2]
History[edit]
BG BEN Newspaper was first printed in London on 30 March 2004. Its initial format was A4, printed weekly on eight pages and supplemented by an additional eight-page insertion in English that was entitled 'Bulgaria', which viewed the capacities of Bulgaria as a tourist, business, and property destination.
In June 2005, the newspaper changed its format to a standard tabloid, switched to a bi-weekly printing period, and expanded its page number to 32 pages.
In November 2007, its eight-page section in English was converted into Bulgarian language pages, followed by an increase in the printed copies and further growth of its distribution network that resulted in ranking the newspaper as the largest Bulgarian printed media in Great Britain.[3]
BG BEN Newspaper Today[edit]
Roughly 90% of its distribution is to the Bulgarian community in London. Its copies are delivered to more than 100 locations in London, including Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Kent, Watford, Southampton and Stockport.[4]
The newspaper contains news and events for the Bulgarians in the UK, advice on life and work in the UK and services available to the community, pages dedicated to rock music and rock events, facts and news about Bulgaria, and adverts and leisure time pages.[citation needed]
