Public Images and Private Lives: The Case of Hungary

Ágnes Gulyás

This article examines the changes in media coverage of politicians' public and private lives in post-communist Hungary. It aims to fnd out whether the boundaries between what is perceived to be the private and public in Hungarian political culture have shifted or not. The article argues that there has been an increase in media coverage of both public and private lives of politicians mainly as a result of the post-communist transformation and changes in political and journalistic culture. It also argues that media coverage of politicians' private lives tends to focus on their business, economic and political interests and less emphasis have been given to the sex lives and personal relationships of politicians.
