The Hungarian parliament has approved legislation restructuring the operation of public media outlets. The new law establishes a supervisory body intended to prevent state media from functioning as a propaganda tool, a practice critics allege occurred during Viktor Orbán’s premiership. This reform aims to ensure greater independence and impartiality in public broadcasting. The newly formed committee will oversee the public media’s operations and content. Supporters of the change say it is a crucial step towards media pluralism and democratic accountability. The move signals a departure from the previous system where the government exerted significant influence over public service media. The legislation passed Tuesday is expected to reshape the media landscape in Hungary.
