Abstract

The appearance of the print press in Magyarkanizsa is closely related to the municipality’s change in its administrative status, i.e. when it became a town in 1909. It was then that citizens could read their own newspaper, the Kanizsai Újság for the first time. The four-page paper was issued every Sunday and informed the citizens of Kanizsa mainly about local events, although national and foreign affairs were also discussed on its pages. Its publisher was the owner of the local printing press and merchant, Pál P. Bruck, who was motivated in this new enterprise by the prospect of a new, lucrative business venture. Most of the first year’s articles dealt with the newly received status of the town as well as the plans of development in connection with it. A cultural milestone in the history of Magyarkanizsa, this weekly publication, which appeared until May 1915, played a great role in the process of urbanization and the furthering of embourgeoisement. It established a modern local press and popularized interest in public affairs among the town’s population.
