Népszava is Hungary's eldest continuous print publication and as of October 2019 the last and only remaining liberal, social democratic political daily in the country.
During the period of the Hungarian People's Republic between 1948 and 1989, it was the official newspaper of Hungarian trade unions.[1] In 1990 it was privatized. Its publisher, the entrepreneur János Fenyő was shot dead in Budapest in 1998. The crime is still partially unsolved. The newspaper is currently owned by the entrepreneur Tamás Leisztinger.
The circulation of Népszava was 222,000 copies in January 1989 and 181,000 copies in January 1991.[2] The paper had a circulation of 135,000 copies in July 1992 and 102,000 copies in March 1993.[2] Its circulation was 80,000 copies in 1998.[4] The paper had a circulation of 31,742 copies in 2009, making it the sixth most read daily in the country.[1] The circulation further declined to 10,522 copies by 2016.[5] After closure of Népszabadság, today Népszava is Hungary's market leader among political dailies. Its average circulation is 21 thousand copies/day with the 32-page Saturday edition reaching 24 thousand copies.
