Budapest Week was the first independent English-language newspaper in Budapest, Hungary, founded in March 1991.[1] The weekly periodical served the expatriate population and larger English-speaking population in Hungary.
History[edit]
In March 1991, the paper was founded by Rick Bruner, Steve Carlson, Richard W. Bruner, Tibor Szendrei, and Blake Steinberg.
Budapest Week was Hungary's first independent English language newspaper[2] after the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. It was followed by competitors, notably The Budapest Sun and The Budapest Business Journal. There was a newspaper that resembled Budapest Week and its role in the social movement of the expatriate scene there at the time in the popular novel Prague by Arthur Phillips.
In 1992, Peter Freed backed the paper financially and remained its owner until the paper ceased printing in 2000.
