Zsófia Fülöp is a Hungarian journalist at Lakmusz, the country's only independent fact-checking site.
She joined the team in May 2023 and covers the pressing problems of the social and health systems, press freedom and democracy, as well as political and social issues in her wider region, from a disinformation perspective. Previously, she worked for 9 years at the independent political-cultural weekly Magyar Narancs, where she strongly focused on reporting on under-represented communities.
In 2022, Zsófia was awarded a fellowship at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in Oxford, researching media representation of the Roma community in Hungary. Currently, she is part of the 2025 cohort of the BIRN's Fellowship for Journalistic Excellence programme. In addition to Hungarian media, her writing has appeared in Initium Media, Balkan Insight and Unbias The News.
