Prime Minister Boyko Borisov is the politician who has been mentioned most times by the Bulgarian media in 2010, a new survey has shown.

Borisov's name has emerged in 6625 of the total of 17 759 articles written in 7 newspapers, or approximately in one in every three articles. The Bulgarian Prime Minister has been mostly met with approval from the media, as the positive statements about him have outnumbered the negative ones four times.

On the other hand, the current Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov has received mostly criticism, as well as the oppositional socialist leader Sergey Stanishev and ethnic Turkish party leader Ahmed Dogan, who were both involved in the country's former three-way government.

According to the survey, which has been ordered by the "Media Democracy" foundation and conducted by the Market Links agency, Bulgaria's media market has grown more politically dependent over the course of the last year.
