The Conference will be held on October, 27th-28th, 2022, as part of the St. Kliment Ohridski Days in the Microsoft Teams video conference platform. The Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the university major Journalism at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. The academic education on journalism in Bulgaria starts in the 1952-1953 academic year, when the major Journalism is established at the Faculty of Philology at Sofia University. Later, this major becomes a separate Faculty at Sofia University – the Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication.

The philosophy of education and of scientific research on journalism and media at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” is linked to the high public responsibility of the journalistic profession and to its role in the social systems, to its functions of a fourth estate and to the role of journalism as an independent institution, to the media influence and to the public trust.
We most politely invite the specialists in media and communications, students and alumni of the Faculty, as well as those who are involved with the problems of the media and communication environment and culture in their various dimensions and manifestations. We welcome the interdisciplinary approach toward the contemporary challenges in the journalistic education and practice and in the communication activities as a whole.
