Integrity in Sport requires the participation of all stakeholders, and without a free, informed and committed Press, #SportIntegrity is nothing more than a mere utopia.
Based on this shared idea, and in connection with the Sport Integrity Week 2022 (12-16 September) the Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA), the world’s largest coalition in the field of Sport Integrity, and the Hungarian Press Union have freely decided to partner up.
Today, the Hungarian Press Union officially joins the group SIGA media partners, expanding the horizon of influence of a community in whose sole commitment is to truth and integrity.
SIGA’s Media Partnership programme is collaborative, it does not involve the payment of any funds by SIGA or any of the Media Partners to the counterpart. No compensation is determined under the partnership as a guarantee of media coverage of SIGA events. SIGA believes and always reaffirms that without strong and free Media, the door to criminal infiltration is wide open.
For this reason, SIGA makes available to all journalists, especially those who are part of the media partners, the accumulated knowledge and resources in the area of Integrity in Sport.
Laszlo M. Lengyel, Executive President, Hungarian Press Union, explained the reasons for partnering with SIGA:
“The Hungarian Press Union (Sajtószakszervezet) is proud to join SIGA’s Sport Integrity Week as a Media Partner. We agree with the goals and aims of this event. For every journalist covering sport events, integrity, the corruption-free status, the anti-drug and anti-doping struggle, the fair and equal treatment of men and women, financial transparency, and anti-racism are very important values.”
