Summary/Abstract: Media is “the fourth pillar of democracy”, but there is also a fifth – the power of civic journalism combined with the power of technology. The interaction and interpenetration between professional and citizen journalism is the future of the media. In Bulgaria, this process is developing slowly, but changes are already noticeable, albeit weak. This conclusion is supported by a study of the publications of four media outlets about the water crisis in Pernik.
