Viktor Orban and Hungary's faltering media opposition






Low sales vs Viktor Orban's media crackdown 
It's the latest chapter in the story of a media landscape transformed. When Nepszabadsag, Hungary's most influential opposition paper was suspended, owners cited low sales - but journalists say it is part of a wider media suppression. 
On our radar
  • The number of Palestinian journalists in Israeli jails is on the rise - none have been charged, none have been put on trial.
  • Wikileaks made public a trove of emails that shed light on the inner workings of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and its relationship with the American media.
  • A Serbian cartoonist fired from his paper for supposedly criticising the country’s prime minister has been given his job back - apparently, he had the same prime minister to thank.
