AFPC-USA Speaks with 2024 Scholarship Awardee Ivan Laszlo Nagy from Hungary

Ivan Laszlo Nagy is a Budapest-based political journalist and podcaster, currently pursuing his M.A. degree at Columbia Journalism School with Politics concentration. Prior to his move to the US, he was a key figure at HVG, one of Hungary’s last remaining independent news outlets as a political reporter, analyst, and commentator focusing on democratic security, as well as the host and editor of Hungary’s #1 news podcast. He is an expert on populism, quasi-authoritarian regimes and political communication, and he is also a fellow of Visegrad Insight, the leading English language think-tank of Central Eastern Europe. He is a regular commentator on Hungarian foreign policy in the international press, appearing in the likes of BBC Newshour, LBC, EUobserver, L’Espresso or TVN24.
