Hungarian Journalist Accused of Secretly Photographing Reporter at Government Press Conference

Journalist's Conduct at Government Press Conference Sparks Debate Budapest, Hungary – A recent incident at a government press conference (Kormányinfó) has ignited a discussion regarding journalistic ethics, following allegations that a reporter from the news outlet 444.hu, Herczeg Márk, was secretly photographing a female TV2 reporter. The claims were brought to public attention by a social media user, Sebestyén Janka, who directly questioned Minister Gergely Gulyás on the matter. In a widely viewed video, Ms. Sebestyén presented footage from the Kormányinfó, highlighting a man, identified as Mr. Herczeg, appearing to photograph a woman discreetly. Ms. Sebestyén stated, "My question to the Minister is whether this person should be allowed to attend the Kormányinfó anymore?" She further expressed strong disapproval, remarking, "Honestly, I don't think it's normal, not even from 444.hu, for a man to secretly photograph women at a government press conference or anywhere else." The incident has prompted various reactions online, with some commenters echoing concerns about privacy and professional conduct, while others questioned the context or the severity of the alleged action. The government has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident or the journalist's future access to press conferences. This event underscores ongoing debates about media behavior and public transparency in Hungary.
