The Budapest Beacon was an online newspaper that reports on current events taking place in Hungary. It was published by United States-based Real Reporting Foundation, a news organization.

Online presence

In July 2014, Hungarian news portals reported that The Budapest Beacon plans to launch a new Hungarian language news website sometime in September.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The newspaper is often critical of the Fidesz government.

A number of Hungarian and international media outlets have reported on current event in Hungary using content attributed to The Budapest Beacon, including The Jerusalem Post,[7][8] the GlobalPost,[9] Catholic World News,[10] Xplatloop.com,[11] and Politics.hu,[12] The Budapest Times,[13] Mandiner.hu,[14][15] Der Standard,[16] and Gawker,[17] Foreign Policy,[18] The Washington Post,[19] and Haaretz.[20]

Defunction

The online newspaper ceased publication on 13 April 2018 due to severe erosion of media plurality in Hungary.[21]
