caption_attribution_description: Commemorative medal issued at the 125th anniversary of founding the Hungarian national news agency MTI.
context_page_description: MTI is a Hungarian news agency. One of the oldest news agencies in the world, it was founded in 1880.
  MTI is owned by MTI Rt., founded by the Parliament. The members of the Owners’ Advisory Body are elected by the National Assembly of Hungary on four-year terms. It's a marketleader, and is considered by some sources to be a ‘balanced and reliable source’. Still, it finds it difficult to raise subscriptions as most major Hungarian newspapers are foreign-owned. It must turn to the government for capital to overcome its technology deficit.
  According to a UNESCO report it faces competition both from independent and specialist news agencies, and from domestic Hungarian news services established by Reuters and AFP.
  On 1 July 2015, Magyar Távirati Iroda as well as the three other public media organizations managed by the MTVA were merged into a single organization called Duna Media Service. This organization is the legal successor to Magyar Távirati Iroda.
