Magyar Hang is a civic, political-cultural weekly newspaper published in Hungary, founded in 2018 by former employees of the now defunct daily Magyar Nemzet.
Magyar Hang's predecessor, but not its legal predecessor, Magyar Nemzet, openly served as Fidesz's bourgeois daily newspaper between 2000 and 2015. In 2015, however, following G-Day, Lajos Simicska, the owner of the paper, distanced himself from the government.
Three days before the 2018 parliamentary elections, Lajos Simicska closed the newspaper for political reasons, but citing funding problems, ending eight decades of Magyar Nemzet's existence. On 14 April, a 40,000-copy Samizdat Magyar Nemzet was published in Slovakia, which was distributed free of charge by staff at the anti-government demonstration that day.
