Ethnographer, dance researcher Felföldi László’s study: "Folklore in the Media Through the Example of Hungary’s Danube Folklore Festival". This paper addresses: the role of the media and problems, approaches, methods in folk dance research today; present goals of research; the Danube Folklore Festival’s ’news-worthyness’ from the viewpoint of the festival founders and organizers (the festival was founded in 1967–68); the value of the festival from the researchers’ point of view; the news value of the festival from the point of view of public/cultural recreation professionals; the public media’s receptiveness to what the festival offers as newsworthy; the political stance on the value of, and the role of peasant culture in public culture; the media’s effect on folk dance and folk music. Part of his closing comments reads approximately: "…From the period starting in 1990 to the present, new forms of news, opinion forming, and ’mediazation’ have developed. These have drastically changed cultural politics, cultural policy of festival organizers, the audience and the media professionals’ methods and points of view…” First published in [Folk Dance in the Media] – a conference publication.
