Summary/Abstract: Crisis communication occupies a huge part of the public relations of state institutions in Bulgaria. Bulgarian governments have enjoyed traditionally low levels of trust since the beginning of the democratic path of development of the country. The digital era has further contributed to the creation and development of crises, and to a particular extent, this fact concerns the political field. The effectiveness of crisis communications is of paramount importance for the governance of the country. The implementation of agreed and effective strategic government communications in times of crisis represents a real challenge in modern conditions of the information and communication environment.
