Hungary Digital Campaign Experts - AI, TikTok & Disinformation

🇭🇺 PLEASE DM/SHARE Although this photo is from the Georgian election night, it feels just as relevant ahead of Hungary’s parliamentary election this Sunday. Squatting, refreshing the same feeds - polls, Politico, Twitter. I’ll be in Budapest tomorrow and Sunday, and I’m looking to speak with people who understand the digital campaign space for an expert piece. Focus: • AI in campaigning, especially TikTok • disinformation and political narratives • Russian interference methods Also interested in how external influence is distinguished from domestic dynamics, how threats are identified in practice, and which institutions are responsible for responding. DM or comment if you’d like to chat, or if you know someone who might. On or off the record - either is fine.

European Flea Market Vendors - Digital Adaptation & Cultural Value

Recently I’ve been working on a story about a film prop museum started by a professional prop master in Shanghai. With AI being used more and more in visual production, their traditional rental business has been shrinking. At first, we were wondering: is this industry going to disappear? Are these craftsmen going to be replaced? But after digging deeper, the situation is actually more complicated — and kind of hopeful. For example, some of them are turning their collections into cultural experiences, inviting people to learn how props are made and used. Others are actively embracing AI instead of resisting it. They’re digitizing their physical props, building 3D databases, and even trying out online rental models. So instead of shipping a real object, you might just download a digital version. And then there’s also a growing niche market. Things like immersive theater, murder mystery games, or independent creators — they still need very specific, tangible props. That demand is actually increasing. So overall, I’d say the industry is definitely being disrupted by AI, but it’s not simply dying. It’s adapting, splitting into new directions. And interestingly, this story reminded me of second-hand market I visited in Budapest in 2024. A vendor told me business had gotten much worse after the Russia-Ukraine war. Fewer people were spending money. I remember him trying really hard to sell me a small dictionary for five euros — he even joked that it would pay for a couple of beers that day. And there was this older man showing me a translated version of a Detective Conan comic, really hoping I would buy it. You could feel how urgent it was for them to make a sale. Whether it’s film props in China or flea markets in Europe, these are all very physical, tangible economies.I’m actually curious to explore further: in Europe, are these second-hand markets also trying to adapt? Are they going digital, or finding new cultural value, the way prop makers are doing in China?

Stipendium Hungaricum Students in Hungary - Study Experiences

A chance to share your experiences Hey guys, I hope it is okay for me to post something like this here. I am a Hungarian (aspiring) journalist and I am currently working on a piece in (English) on foreign students who choose to study in Hungary and their experiences. I know that the Stipendium Hungaricum is one of, if not the most popular way of doing that, so I plan to focus on this opportunity in particular, and I would be really glad if some of you could talk to me about the process, your life in Hungary, etc. - I am mainly interested in those of you who ended up studying at a Hungarian university but if you didn't for some reason, you can also tell me why. Disclaimer: I would want to get the piece published eventually and potentially use it for my portfolio, but as soon as I finish the draft, I will send you the text if you participate. So, let me know if you would like to talk and we can arrange something :) Thank you in advance.

Roma community liaison & fixer - village-life documentary - Hungary

Looking for help connecting with Roma communities in Hungary for a documentary I'm a filmmaker and journalist from the US. We make character driven travel documentaries in the style of early Vice meets Anthony Bourdain. We've done episodes in Peru, Japan, and most recently West Virginia and we're heading to Hungary on April 9th. One of the episodes we want to make is about Roma village life in Hungary. We're not interested in making another poverty tourism piece or showing up and pointing cameras at people's hardship. We want to find real human stories, sit with people, share a meal, understand what daily life actually looks like from the inside. The kind of documentary that makes someone watching from their couch in America feel like they genuinely met someone and came away with more understanding than they had before. We're aware that Roma communities have a long history of being misrepresented and exploited by outside filmmakers and we take that seriously. We don't want to just show up cold. We're looking for either someone from the community who would be willing to help us get access the right way, or a contact who has genuine existing relationships there. If you or someone you know might be open to talking about this we'd love to connect and share more about what we do and our previous work. Thanks in advance.

CEE Design Hotels Reviving Folklore for Forbes Feature

Call for Pitches for Forbes PLEASE NOTE: All of these will be March stories, so the latest deadline is 28 February. Please ALWAYS send a link to photos and full name + title of the person providing the commentary. I rarely have time, sadly, to follow-up and ask for missing info. Sometimes I do, but other times I choose a different pitch with all necessary info. Please DO NO FOLLOW-UP before March 8, if you do not hear from me until then. I am collecting replies now, but I will only work on the stories in March [url=https://substack.com/redirect/67068ad5-b0cd-42a3-bf7f-68f9d3366f22]after I published the International Women’s Day stories[/url]. Central European (?) Design Hotels Reviving Folklore You may not know about me but I was born in Hungary. I lived abroad in different countries, but I am back in Hungary now. I wanted to write for Forbes about Central/Eastern Europe including Hungary for a while, but I haven’t. Until I got a pitch about a Hungarian boutique hotel showing Hungarian culture through reviving its folklore. I loved the theme. So, now, I am looking for other hotels primarily in CEE, ideally one in Vienna and one in Prague that also show culture through reviving folklore. I may take hotels from other European countries, if I do not have 5 from CEE. The story will highlight at most 5 hotels and I already have one in Hungary. Email: [email redacted]
