Lapcom CEO leaves as changes loom
Andreas Merz, the CEO of publisher Lapcom, is leaving by mutual consent, and will be replaced by personnel and legal director Tibor Kovacs the company announced on Tuesday.
Lapcom, owned by government film commissioner Andy Vajna, is the publisher of the tabloid Bors, the highest circulation county daily Kisalfold in northwest Hungary and south Hungarian daily Delmagyarorszag.
Merz did not want to comment, but other sources said he has warned colleagues that “Lorinc Meszaros is coming,” 444 reports.
Merz managed to keep his position when Vajna acquired Lapkom last year.
It is expected that Meszaros will take control of Lapcom as part of an upcoming reorganisation of Fidesz-friendly media outlets.
According to reports, Meszaros is negotiating with Heinrich Pecina, who played a key role in closing Nepszabadsag, to purchase Media, publisher of three regional daily newspapers.
If these purchases go ahead, then Meszaros will control all regional dailies by the end of this year, 444 forecasts.
Nepszava reports that Vajna will probably lose all of his media holdings, and may also lose his casino licences. (444.hu; nepszava.hu; napi.hu; hvg.hu)
