Decision number: Decision 165/2011. (XII. 20.)

Subject of the case:

The regulation of the media and the institution of the ‘Media Commissioner’

Data sheet of the case

It is against the principle of free press to limit the protection of journalists’sources to stories serving the public interest. Editors must, moreover, not be obliged to supply data in the absence of pending proceedings. The institution of the ‘Media Commissioner’constitutes an unnecessary restriction on the freedom of press.
