Viara Ankova has been appointed the general director of information at the Nova Broadcasting Group in Bulgaria, effective October 9.
In her new role, she will be responsible for the development of news, information and TV publications at Nova, which is one of the top two leading commercial broadcasters in the country.

Although the second term expired in August 2016, she held the position for another year until Bulgaria’s Council for Electronic Media chose her replacement.
