United News

Led by publisher and editor-in-chief Ji Yuping (季毓萍) and operating from Budapest’s Chinatown, United News Hungary (匈牙利聯合報) was founded in April 1999 as a Chinese-language weekly newspaper distributed within Hungary and neighboring countries. The publication positions itself as providing “fair and objective reporting” – though it maintains close ties to official Chinese media organizations. In 2007, United Daily became one of the first eight overseas media partners of People’s Daily Overseas Edition (人民日報海外版), serving as the only Hungarian partner in this arrangement. The publication also has a partnership with China News Service (中國新聞社), or CNS, which has established overseas cooperation programs with Chinese-language media globally since 2007.

Magyar Nemzet

Magyar Nemzet was founded in August 1938 by Sándor Pethő as a conservative daily broadsheet newspaper. The paper survived World War II and communist rule, becoming Hungary’s leading conservative publication. Businessman Lajos Simicska purchased the paper in 2000 and used it to support Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party with favorable coverage funded by state advertising contracts. After Simicska’s public fallout with Orbán in 2015, the government cut state funding and the paper became critical of the regime. Simicska closed Magyar Nemzet in April 2018 after Fidesz’s election victory, citing financial problems. The government relaunched the brand in February 2019 as a pro-government publication under the state-aligned KESMA media conglomerate, completing Orbán’s capture of Hungary’s most prestigious conservative newspaper. The relaunched version features a dedicated section promoting Orbán’s policies and activities.
