NMHH announces organizational restructuring and media market investigation

Gábor Polyák, president of the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH), has announced a comprehensive assessment of the organization's capacities. This review aims to establish a new operational structure by early next year to create a more dynamic organization capable of addressing current professional challenges.

As part of this restructuring, two directorates were already dissolved in early November. The NMHH intends to prioritize digital child protection and the implementation of the European Media Freedom Act. Polyák noted that while the authority has been an active international partner in telecommunications for fifteen years, its influence in media regulation requires strengthening to better represent Hungarian interests in European forums.

Additionally, the NMHH is launching a full-scale analysis of the Hungarian media market and related sectors. The investigation will examine various market groups to determine if any actors possess market dominance that could be subject to abuse. The review will focus on entire market segments rather than individual media outlets.
