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), each containing 48 pages and 6,000 copies in print.[1]

## Purposes

[edit]

The newspaper aims to unite the Bulgarian community while providing expert advice and news coverage.[2]

## History

[edit]

BG BEN Newspaper was initially launched in London on March 30, 2004, featuring an A4 format with eight weekly pages. An additional eight-page insertion in English, titled 'Bulgaria', showcased the country's potential as a tourism, business, and real estate hub.

In June 2005, the newspaper underwent changes to become a standard tabloid format, shifted to a bi-weekly printing schedule, and increased its page count to 32 pages.

In November 2007, the newspaper's English section was transformed into Bulgarian language pages, leading to a boost in printed copies and expansion of the distribution network. This ultimately propelled the newspaper to become the largest Bulgarian printed media in Great Britain.[3]
