Конституционноправни аспекти на свободата в медийната дейност
Constitutional legal aspects of the freedom of media activity

Summary/Abstract: The Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria, the constitutional practice and the media legal practice outline three main liberties in the field of media activity. These are the freedom of opinion, the freedom of the media and the freedom of information. These are regarded as projections of the universal human value “freedom of speech”. The provision of media audio- and audiovisual services is subject to administrative regulation executed by the Council for Electronic Media on the basis of the applicable Radio and Television Act. The reasons for the introduction of specific administrative legislation concerning programme production and broadcasting are to be found in the constitutional practice. These and other characteristics of media services have provoked the differentiation of media audio- and audiovisual law as a separate sub-branch of the special part of administrative law.
