Defunct Daily Starts Again
A Pont-MH Publishing Kft. bought the publishing rights and subscriber database of daily Magyar Hírlap from Ringier Publishing Kft. for more than HUF 100 million last week. The deal allows the new owners to restart the daily paper that Ringier shut down two weeks ago.
The owners of A Pont-MH include Kamilla Tóth, chief aide of former Economy Minister István Csillag, Magyar Hírlap editor Pál Szombathy and two related companies – Adoc-Interprint Printing Kft. and Adoc-Semic Publishing and Printing Kft. – which helped print daily A Pont, which was produced by the former staff of Magyar Hírlap while that daily was defunct.
Despite earlier expectations, Zsurnaliszták Bt. – a company formed by the journalists of Magyar Hírlap and acted as the publishing company of A Pont – did not participate in forming the new publishing company. Magyar Hírlap resumed publishing on Nov. 24 with 20 pages on average and a much smaller staff than before.
