Brouillette's Commentary in Moment Magazine
Amy Brouillette, of CEU's Center for Media and Communication Studies (CMCS), describes the effects Hungary's ruling party has had on the media market in this broad piece about the future of Hungary in Moment Magazine.
Amy Brouillette, a researcher at the Media Studies Center at Budapest’s Central European University, explains to me that the media laws gave the Orban government powers that “are probably wider than any other single authority in Europe.” After a pause she adds, “Well, maybe except in Belarus,” referring to the dictatorially run country considered to be Europe’s most autocratic. Brouillette, an American who has been living in Hungary since the 1990s, continues: “A few things have become obvious since the change of government in 2010. One is that it is possible for one party to conquer the media market.”
