Summary/Abstract: István Milotay was one of the leading journalist and newspaper editors between the two world wars. He was an opinion leader of the era and a member of parliament. One of the creators of the modern national press. He was characterized by patriotism, nationalism, and racial protection. And as a national radical, he was anti-Semitic, which was partly explained by the Hungarian middle class dominated by political, social, and ethnic conflicts. He was a determined and committed thinker of millennial national and political integrity. He was in favor of restoring national self-consciousness, greater protection of national interests, and radical right-wing modernization. Agreeing with the radical German policy of the country with the commitment to a common destiny of the German-Hungarian revision interests, he was a good symbol of its own and the country’s forced career and fall.
