I am an investigative reporter, editor and media manager from Budapest, Hungary, working at one of Hungary’s last remaining independent media outlets, online news portal 444.hu. I have 21 years of experience in journalism and a reasonable understanding of the media landscape in Hungary and CEE. Over the past 10 years, I hopefully accumulated a fair bit of knowledge on how to develop, operate and sustain an independent news portal in the increasingly challenging media environment of Hungary.
