Authoritarian leaders might be good at damaging democracy, but unless they are pure dictators they often still need to worry about winning elections.

Key Points:

Authoritarian leaders might be good at damaging democracy, but unless they are pure dictators they often still need to worry about winning elections.
In the last few years, Europe has seen the rise of a number of authoritarian populists who rely on winning mass support among ordinary people – as opposed to just rigging the vote.
It’s similar in many countries presided over by authoritarian populists.

Yet a closer look reveals an interesting structural feature of media ownership networks in authoritarian populist countries.
For instance, in Hungary, the Central European Press and Media Foundation (Kesma) is a huge right-wing media conglomerate that controls more than 500 national and local media outlets.
Kesma was established in 2018, when most pro-government private media owners transferred their ownership rights to the foundation, which is headed by a board of trustees full of Orbán loyalists closely associated to the ruling party.

You might expect authoritarian populist governments to be more like the old totalitarian regimes which pulled out all the stops to silence any dissenting voices.
This was the strategy of both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin.
It’s also convenient for an authoritarian regime to set up an “us versus them” situation, where “they” can be vilified and ridiculed by regime-friendly media.
In Hungary, for instance – in a wider strategy to discredit independent media news – pro-government media outlets have launched smear campaigns against independent media outlets funded by international grants.
This allows them to set up internal enemies as a target for their supporters.
