Népszava, 1914

Népszava (meaning "People's Voice" in English) is a social-democratic Hungarian language newspaper published in Hungary.

History and profile

Népszava was established in 1873[1] in Budapest by Viktor Külföldi. It was the official newspaper of the Hungarian Social Democratic Party until 1948 when Hungary became a communist state.[2]

During the period of the Hungarian People's Republic between 1948 and 1989, it was the official newspaper of Hungarian trade unions.[1] In 1990 it was restored and belonged to the Central Council of Hungarian Trade Unions until 2002. Later it was privatized and for a brief period belonged to an advertising company known as ESMA. It is currently owned by its staff and relies on donations for funding.[3]

Népszava is published in broadsheet format.[4]
