Mass media in Hungary includes a variety of online, print, and broadcast formats, such as radio, television, newspapers, and magazines.

Press freedom

According to numerous watchdog groups, press freedom has declined significantly under prime minister Viktor Orbán.[1][2][3][4][5] In 2010, Freedom House's press freedom index ranked Hungary’s media as the world's 40th freest. As of 2017, it had dropped to 87th freest, and Freedom House now says it is only "partly free."[6]
