Summary/Abstract: This paper is focused on the use of inferential (conclusive) evidential forms in journalistic texts in Bulgarian. As will be discussed, these forms suit the needs of this specific context where for they mark the information as indirect (second hand) but direct. On the base of the analyzed data I was not able to formulate any specific restriction on the use of inferential forms; however some particular meanings form as a result. In the first part some preliminary concepts will be discussed and in the second some empiric data will be analyzed.
