Magyar Szó (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmɒɟɒr ˈsoː], lit. Hungarian Word) is a Hungarian-language daily newspaper in Vojvodina, Serbia.

History

It was founded in 1944, with the purpose of serving as the information source for the Hungarian minority of Vojvodina. It is published in Novi Sad. Magyar Szó is considered the main ethnic Hungarian media in Serbia and in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. To begin with, the newspaper was called Szabad Vajdaság, but the name was changed to Magyar Szó in 1945.

The newspaper is a member of MIDAS (European Association of Daily Newspapers in Minority and Regional Languages).[1]
