Journalist Mina Kirkova gained experience at a number of Bulgarian media outlets, including the TV channel BIT and the first Bulgarian fact-checking platform, Factcheck.bg. Her main areas of interest are disinformation research, open-source intelligence and fact-checking, politics and international relations.
Of her work at DW Mina says: "The values that DW stands for and the topics that are important for the media are important to me too. Having access to a network of journalists all over the world is also something I value greatly. DW's attitude to fighting disinformation, which is a priority topic for me, is also an important motivating factor."
