Transparency International, foreign gov'ts to fund reporting on party financing

Anti-corruption groups Transparency International (TI) and Freedom House (FH) are organising cohesion among Hungarian investigative journalists. The project is also supported by the embassies of the UK and the Netherlands in Budapest. The joint investigation team will attempt to uncover abuses related to party and campaign funding.

So far eight Hungarian media have joined the initiative: economic weekly Figyelõ, figyelo.hu, Kreatív, MTV, origo.hu, hirszerzo.hu, Pannon Lapok Társasága and Bors. The sum of proceeds resulting from political advertisements must be published every four months, a precondition of accession to the project.

The two embassies will each contribute €500 towards the training of investigative journalists joining the project.
