Dániel Bita, deputy editor-in-chief of 24.hu, was also awarded the Hungarian Press Prize, which was founded by the National Association of Hungarian Journalists (MÚOSZ) to recognise “journalists and creative communities of the highest quality”. József Nagy, chief editor of 24.hu, was awarded the Anna Földes Prize, the award for the best interview of the year, at the MÚOSZ event on Thursday, which celebrated 15 March, Hungarian Press Day.

The Hungarian Press Prize is awarded to those “who, while working as journalists in the Hungarian press, have created a work(s) that has earned the respect of the profession and the public in the previous year, and that demonstrates outstanding competence, professionalism and sense of social responsibility”. József Nagy and Ibolya F. Vitéz were among the 24.hu staff members who have previously received this award. Now, along with Balázs Kaufmann of 444 and Györgyi Szöllősi of ATV, Dániel Bita has been awarded the prize.

The award for the best-written interview of the year, named after the former legendary journalist Anna Földes, was given to József Nagy. In addition to the Hungarian Press Award, the 24.hu chief editor has previously won the Quality Journalism Award and the Katalin Bossányi Memorial Award, and in recent months he has received the first-ever Balázs Szentkirályi Award and the Media for the Family Award. This time he was awarded for his three-part interview with János Betlen, published on 24.hu in the autumn.
