He co-founded and co-edited the regional weekly "A Helyzet" in 1989 and served as the chief editor for Pécsi Extra and Esti Extra between 1990 and 1992. In 1990, he was the host for the Hungarian Radio's "Vasárnapi Újság" program and became its managing editor in 1997 and 2006, while also editing "Határok nélkül" and "Helykereső" from 1992 to 1996.
