Origo, stylised as ORIGO and previously as [origo], is a major Hungarian-language news website founded in 1998 by telecommunications company MATÁV. Into the 21st century, Origo soon became one of the most popular and visited news websites in Hungary. Until 2018, when it was acquired by the Central European Press and Media Foundation (KESMA) after receiving pressure by Viktor Orbán's government in the previous years and under New Wave Media ownership that also attracted criticism, its original balanced, independent, and reliable reporting shifted into a pro-Orbán, pro-Fidesz, and anti-immigration tone. As a result, Origo attracted international criticism, with critics describing it as a state-run propaganda and pro-Russian outlet.
