80 Years of the Daily Newspaper Magyar Szo

While war and peace were writing the last chapters of the destruction of yesterday's world, on December 24, 1944, the first issue of the daily newspaper “Magyar Szó” appeared in the provincial capital. The first issues were translations of „Slobodna Vojvodina“ into Hungarian, and on September 27, 1945, the paper was renamed “Magyar Szó”.

With 80 years of continuity, “Magyar Szó” is today the only daily newspaper in a minority language in Serbia, with original newspaper articles and thematic supplements in the Hungarian language, which is available to the readership every day except Sundays in the printed edition, i.e. continuously in the online edition (www.magyarszo.rs) and with editorial offices in Novi Sad, Subotica, Senta and Bačka Topola.

“Magyar Szó”, during eight decades of publication, became and remained the voice of Hungarians in Vojvodina, for which the paper received numerous domestic recognitions, as well as recognitions from Hungary.
