Bognar Quoted by Public Radio International

Viktor Orbán's conservative, right-wing party has an increasing influence on Hungarian media”, according to the report As Orbán Rises, Hungary's Free Press Falls by Public Radio international. The report investigates the media environment in Hungary and quotes journalists from independent and pro-government outlets as well as CMDS’s Senior Program Officer Eva Bognar who says that state-owned companies make up the largest chunk of media advertising and “It means some pro-government media outlets have money flowing into them, while other independent sites have to close their business through lack of funding”.
