Summary/Abstract: The text presents the results of a case study on how the journalistic investigation, known as the 'Eight Dwarfs', is covered by the most watched and trusted Bulgarian televisions BNT, bTV and Nova. The study aims to establish whether topics that are neglected by the institutions could find a place in the Bulgarian televisions` agenda. It has been found that the three media have applied different approaches to the topic, varying from relatively good coverage, through institutionally influenced coverage, to the lack of any coverage. Based on the results, conclusions are made about the agenda of Bulgarian television journalism and the factors that influence its formation.The text presents the results of a case study on how the journalistic investigation, known as the “Eight Dwarfs”, is covered by the most watched and trusted Bulgarian televisions BNT, bTV and Nova.
