NEW Podcast on Innovation in Journalism! Political Interference and Reader Solidarity: The Story of Index and Telex in Hungary

In this first episode of the series, co-hosts Dumitrita Holdis and Justin Spike bring you the story of Telex, a media organization that was willed into being by its founders when one of Hungary’s flagship media outlets was pushed to the brink of collapse by government pressure. When almost all of Index’s 90-member staff resigned, they set out to start their own organisation and to fund it through reader contributions. In the first month of their crowdfunding campaign, they collected 1 million euros from their readers.
