Aktuelle Fragen der Medienfreiheit in Ungarn
Current Questions of Freedom of the Media in Hungary

Summary/Abstract: Media relations in Hungary have been defined by the lack of substantive changes in the legal framework, the realignment of media market conditions and the low-key sanctioning of the media authority between mid 2011 to the end of 2012, as the analyses of Mertek Media Monitor show. The analysis of the NGO, which examines the impact of the Hungarian new media regulations, provides a comprehensive overview on the changes of the media market and the content supply, the enforcement activities of the media authority, the press freedom and the public function. The article assesses changes in the regulatory environment, particularly in the context of those objections formulated by various international organizations and analyses the frequency allocation practices and content control activity of the media authority.
