Bivol.bg

Bivol is an independent investigative media outlet based in Sofia, Bulgaria, founded in 2008. It specialises in exposing corruption, organized crime, and abuses of power, often tackling stories that are sensitive, complex, or underreported in the Bulgarian media landscape. The newsroom focuses on data-driven investigations, in-depth reporting, and cross-border collaborations, producing journalism that holds public officials and institutions accountable while providing citizens with clear, evidence-based insights. Bivol’s work often uncovers hidden networks of influence and sheds light on systemic failings in governance and business. Bivol operates with full editorial independence, funded primarily through reader contributions, grants, and non-commercial support, avoiding advertising and political influence. This model allows the team to pursue high-risk, resource-intensive investigations without compromise. Over more than a decade, Bivol has earned recognition as a trusted source of investigative journalism in Bulgaria, consistently producing work that strengthens transparency, exposes wrongdoing, and empowers the public to engage critically with societal issues.
