MÚOSZ: The RTL network committed an ethical violation with the Gryllus Dorka scam

Gryllus Dorka's recent on-air incident during RTL's morning show was revealed to be part of a menopause advertising campaign, leading to ethical complaints. The Hungarian Association of Journalists found that RTL violated journalistic ethics by misleading viewers, despite the campaign's socially beneficial intent. The committee criticized the portrayal of a health crisis for commercial purposes without immediate clarification to the audience. They emphasized that such actions could damage media credibility in the long run. The association also noted that the campaign's sponsors should not compromise editorial integrity. Although ethical violations were confirmed, no further investigation was initiated as RTL accepted responsibility and the responsible editor resigned.
