                <div> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi,
                    everyone.<br>
                    Thought this may be of interest for the chapters.<br>
                    Few months ago, ISOC Bulgaria applied for a small
                    grant under the Beyond the Net Small Grants Program
                    of the ISOC Foundation. <br>
                    The goal was to tackle disinformation, related to
                    COVID-19, which is widely spreading in Bulgaria. The
                    organization wanted to provide factual information,
                    and thanks to one of the active participants, a
                    teacher in journalism and mass communications, this
                    happened. He published a number of articles on our
                    newly established FB page, and also interviewed key
                    doctors, officials and experts, who shared
                    scientific information in a very user-friendly way.<br>
                    The primary vehicle was Facebook, as more than half
                    of the total population of Bulgaria is actively
                    engaged with this particular platform. <br>
                    The new I<a
                      href="https://www.facebook.com/internetsocietybg/"
                      target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">SOC
                      Bulgaria Facebook page</a> in a little bit more
                    than 2 months has 821 people, who like it, and
                    1,180, who are following it. The Zoom calls were
                    advertised, and thus reached between 35,1K and 89,1K
                    views. The total amount of people reached through
                    the small ad campaign, was 979,477. This is about
                    25% of all Facebook users in the country. We also
                    had some positive feedback about the articles we
                    published on our <a
                      href="https://isocbg.wordpress.com/"
                      target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">blog</a>,
                    where the articles we published in the first week of
                    the project, were viewed 6,119 times and shared 31
                    times. ISOC - Bulgaria was also approached by the
                    National Public Radio, and asked to share details in
                    one of the morning shows, which has pretty good
                    audience. <br>
                    <br>
                    The whole campaign was a success.<br>
                    We are thankful to the Internet Society Foundation
                    for their support!<br>
