Hungarian Media Leak Exposes Russian Propaganda Support
The Hungarian government is moving to restructure public media operations, including plans to suspend certain operations to ensure objectivity and impartiality. The move involves restructuring state advertising and managing the impact on independent media resilience. These changes follow significant political shifts and government scandals in the country. Director Andrash Foldash has released a new film titled 80 Angry Journalists regarding media control in Hungary. The film documents a 2020 event where 80 journalists resigned en masse to establish the independent news site Telix. Foldash noted the difficulty of competing against pro-Orban outlets supported by state advertising and oligarch funding. Some journalists at pro-Orban outlets have reportedly begun speaking out in recent days, according to the report.
