Esti Hírlap (meaning Evening Paper in English) was an evening newspaper published in Hungary between 1956 and 1996.
History and profile
Esti Hírlap was first published on 24 December 1956[1] and was a Communist evening paper.[2] Its start was a reflection of the political consolidation in Hungary.[3] The paper was the successor of Esti Budapest, another evening paper,[1] and was based in Budapest.[4] Until the end of the communist regime in Hungary the paper was under the control of the Hungarian Communist Party.[5] During this period it covered significant events which were regarded as appropriate for the people by the Communist authorities.[2][3] In fact, it was populist[6] and featured short human interest articles.[3]
British media company Mirror Group owned 40% of Esti Hírlap in October 1990.[5][7] The other owners were the Hungarian News Publishing Company with the same share and the paper's editorial board with a 20% share.[5] However, due to lower circulation levels the Mirror Group sold its share in 1992 and finally, the paper was closed down in 1996.[8]
Circulation
In 1987 Esti Hírlap had a circulation of 200,000 copies.[9] The circulation of the paper was 130,000 copies in January 1989 and 93,000 copies in January 1991.[10] The paper had a circulation of 70,000 copies in July 1992 and 60,000 copies in March 1993.[10]
