Index is the last of Hungary's key independent media and editor in
chief Szabolcs Dull was fired on Tuesday. Over the past decade,
supporters of nationalist and conservative Prime Minister Viktor
Orban have gradually taken control of Hungary's independent media.
Hungary is ranked 89th out of 180 countries on the Reporters without
Borders World Press Freedom Index.
