NGOs: Hungary's media control 'unprecedented in EU'
By EUobserver
After a visit to Hungary, seven press freedom organisations declared that "since 2010, the Hungarian government has achieved a degree of media control unprecedented in an EU member state." According to the organisations "the construction of a pro-government media empire serves as a vast propaganda machine for the government of prime minister Viktor Orbán." They called on the EU "to take all available measures to respond."
