The consumption data of the online media market is much easier to measure than traditional interfaces. Based on the data of the Digital Audience Measurement Council, the NMHH Television Monitoring and Analysis Directorate prepared a recent analysis of the evolution of Hungarian internet content consumption habits. The survey examined the online content consumption of Hungarian online media on personal PCs, mobile phones and tablets over the age of 15.
According to the results of the research, more than 77 percent of people over the age of 15 use the Internet. Among Hungarian content, news and magazine sites are consumed in the largest proportion, but public information interfaces and e-commerce sites are also highly visited.
Among the ten most visited Hungarian sites of the last quarter, news portals and tabloid media are leading: 24.hu, Index.hu, Blikk.hu and Origo.hu. this is followed by women’s magazines: Femina.hu and Nlc.hu. Many people also like Borsonline.hu and Ripost.hu, which provide colorful news and tabloid content. Portfolio.hu entered the top ten as the only economic medium, while gastronomic topics are represented on the list by Mindmegette.hu’s recipe page.
The number of visitors to the ten most popular websites also differs by gender: while among men, 24.hu, Index.hu and Origo.hu are the top three, Blikk.hu, Femina.hu and 24.hu lead among women. The detailed analysis is exactly on the website of the Authority.
Fines for Pesti TV and two rural radio channels
Based on a report, the Authority launched an investigation against Pesti TV’s program broadcast on December 22 last year. The whistleblower objected to a program with the same content published on Pesti Galeri and available on the on-demand media service www.pestitv.pestisracok.hu under the title “Márton Gulyás and the Partizán brought transgender Christmas to Hungary (Pesti galeri!)”.
The board also examined what was said in the program from the point of view of understanding human dignity and the publication of content suitable for exclusion. The investigation found that the content in question was illegal from both points of view, and therefore the board fined the Pesti TV media service provider a total of HUF 400,000. Although Pesti TV ceased to exist as a media service on July 10, the objectionable content has been available since then on the permanently named pestisracok.hu on-demand media service. In addition to the fine, the Media Council obliges the media service provider to publish an information notice about the violation.
The panel is of the opinion that the Alfa Rádió in Székesfehérvár and the Egerszeg Rádió did not fulfill, among other things, their commitment to the proportion of textual content, programs dealing with local public life, and programs serving public service purposes. Alfa Rádió’s media service provider published advertisements for social purposes without naming the client. The Media Council fined the media service provider.
