The New York Times decided to leave Hungary this March. The paper is only available online.
According to Jöjj El Szabadság blog site, people who would like to read the American newspaper must buy an Austrian train ticket to get it. As an alternative, the digital edition remained for everybody else.
Attila Salamon, the CEO of Hungaropress Sajtóterjesztő Ltd., a company responsible for foreign paper distribution in Hungary, said “The New York Times left/leaving the smaller markets, including Hungary on 31 March 2024.” He added the decision was only motivated by business reasons.
The New York Times is created in three editions: New York, the United States and international. Hungary received the international version up until the end of March. The paper arrived from Germany’s VRM Druck GmbH & Co. KG press in Rüsshelm, Blikk wrote.
The New York Times leaves Hungary
Interestingly, the American paper decided to leave Hungary after they published several articles about the country. For example, they wrote even about Péter Magyar, the new “messiah” of the Hungarian anti-Orbán opposition (and the ex-husband of former Justice Minister Judit Varga). Moreover, they wrote about the death of composer Péter Eötvös and the unique Hungarian treeless canopy walkway for which the EU gave HUF 60 million (EUR 153,750).
