Hi! In this episode we talk to Orsolya Seregely who is a Hungarian journalist based in Serbia. She works at the Press Freedom Foundation as a journalist, editor and podcaster. The online newsroom where she works, Szabad Magyar Szo, is the biggest independent Hungarian-ethnic minority newsroom in that region. She is a Women's Civic Leadership Academy alumni. She mostly writes about social and women's issues in the region. The main question is - can podcast serve as a community building tool for ethnic minority?
