This is the latest joint publication
of CiviLink Foundation and Coalition 2000, dedicated to problems
which investigative journalists face, while revealing corruption
cases and affairs.
The author, Krassimir Dobrev, is a well-known
journalist and JD graduate. As a leading analyst of "Sega" Daily,
Mr. Dobrev worked on several issues related to political
corruption.
The author expresses an opinion, that the newly
adopted Law on the Access to Public Information creates rather new
obstacles for journalists, than to facilitate their efforts. There
still exists a legal gap in defining such notions as "an official
secret". In addition, the author reviews the major legal risks that
journalists face. The book outlines his "practical advice to
beginners" and how to avoid libel charges. The publication also
contains some of the documents relevant to investigative journalism
such as the full text of Recommendation No R (2000) 7 of the
Council of Ministers to the Council of Europe. The book is designed
for journalists, media law experts and politicians.
