History

BG BEN Newspaper was first printed in London on 30 March 2004. Its initial format was A4, printed weekly on eight pages and supplemented by an additional eight-page insertion in English that was entitled 'Bulgaria' and was viewing the capacities of Bulgaria as a tourist, business and property destination.

In June 2005, the newspaper changed its format to a standard tabloid, switched to bi-weekly printing period and expanded its page number to 32 pages.

In November 2007, its eight-page section in English was converted into Bulgarian language pages, followed by an increase in the printed copies and further growth of its distribution network that resulted in ranking the newspaper as the largest Bulgarian printed media in Great Britain.[3]
