Reading newspapers is a necessity and an integral part of the life of a cultured person, said Prof. Mihail Nedelchev, a lecturer and researcher in literary theory and history at New Bulgarian University, during the presentation of the latest issue of LIK magazine. The November issue of BTA’s magazine for literature, art and culture is dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the publication of the first Bulgarian newspaper, Bulgarski Orel (Bulgarian Eagle), and the development of print media in Bulgaria.
“Throughout my long life, I have always read newspapers. For me, reading newspapers is not merely a need but an actual physical, physiological necessity,” Prof. Nedelchev said. He noted that he is both astonished and concerned when he encounters colleagues from academic and literary circles who no longer read newspapers.
According to Nedelchev, his observations during travels abroad show that people in other countries continue to read print publications. He also cited the example of relatives in the United States who have newspapers delivered to their homes.
“A cultured person reads newspapers,” Prof. Nedelchev emphasized. In his view, the information people receive through television and digital devices cannot replace newspaper reading, which remains an integral part of professional and cultural life.
Prof. Nedelchev expressed hope that printed newspapers would not disappear, although he acknowledged being pessimistic about their future.
He also spoke about his own work creating one-off newspaper editions dedicated to particular individuals or events. So far, he has produced more than 20 such publications, which he also introduces to his students.
LIK has been freely accessible since January 2024. All issues published since the magazine’s relaunch in 2022 are available for download in electronic format at https://www.bta.bg/en/lik-magazine.
