The fourth estate is not just under attack, it's virtually abandoned. Only sustainably non-profit, worker-owned and subscriber-funded news can do the job, because ad-supported journalism leads to coziness with political/economic power and corporate advertisers.
In Hungary's case the threat is a massive state-funded propaganda machine pretending to be the press. How do you fight against that, especially if no one wants to pay for subscriptions?
