Summary/Abstract: The text shows the legal problems that may occur from poor editing. The emphasis is on the editor's responsibility to prevent the publication from being convicted of defamation. It indicates the cases where the Bulgarian legislation criminalizes the encroachments on the honor, dignity and reputation of the citizens, above all through the legal interpretation of the terms 'insult' and 'defamation'. Examples are given by European legal practice and by the Bulgarian editors. This shows that there are legal limits to the freedom of speech.
