Mai Nap ( Hungarian: Today's Day) was a tabloid newspaper published daily in Budapest, Hungary. It began publishing early in the country's post-communist era. It was in circulation between 1989 and 2005.
Mai Nap was the first newspaper published immediately following the collapse of the communism in Hungary. [1] [2] The paper was first published in February 1989 [1] [3] and the founders were three Hungarian journalists. [2] It was a tabloid newspaper. [4] During its initial period it included 24 to 32 pages and was published daily except for Saturdays. [2]
The owner of Mai Nap was a state-owned bank. [1] Rupert Murdoch acquired 50% of Mai Nap in January 1990, [5] [6] but sold it back in 1993 due to its low circulation levels. [1] [4] [7] Then the paper was acquired by the Swiss company JMG Ost Press. [1] [6] At the beginning of the 2000s it was owned by the VNU group, a Dutch company, which also owned another Hungarian paper, Magyar Hirlap. [8]
Marcell Murányi served as the editor-in-chief of Mai Nap. [9] Although the paper was independent, its editorials were supportive of the right-wing political parties in the periods of 1994 general election and 1998 general election. [10]
Mai Nap folded in June 2005 due to low circulation levels. [11]
In the 1990s, Mai Nap had highest circulation levels on Sundays. [10] The paper sold 140,000 copies in January 1991 and 104,000 copies in July 1992. [10] The circulation of the paper was 85,000 copies in March 1993. [10] The paper had a circulation of 79,000 copies and had 396,000 readers in 1998. [12] The 2003 circulation of the paper was 66,000 copies. [3]
