Magyar Jeti Zrt.

Magyar Jeti Zrt. is the publisher of the popular online news site 444.hu, the science and pop-science focused qubit.hu and the fact-checking website lakmusz.hu. Magyar Jeti also publishes books, a quarterly magazine and our publications are regularly involved in EU and other international projects. We launched our first publication, 444.hu in 2013 with a tiny group of dedicated online media professionals willing to create an honest, entertaining and truly independent news site in Hungary’s challenging media environment. 444.hu now employs 30 reporters and editors, is read by 3 million people a month and the newsroom and individual reporters received numerous awards for their public service and investigative reporting. Qubit.hu was launched in 2017 with a small but dedicated group of science journalists and built an extensive network of young competent scientists, and is known for presenting complex scientific concepts and advances in an accessible format to a wide audience. The fact-checking website lakmusz.hu was launched in early 2022. It is part of the Hungarian Digital Media Observatory project run in cooperation with the French news agency AFP and dis/misinformation researchers of the Media Universalis Foundation.
