Work With Ray · Magyar Minute
Independent Stories From Hungary.
I’m Ray Brown, an American who has made Budapest home. Through videos, articles and conversations, I share what I discover about Hungary, the questions I ask and the people I meet.
The Publication & The Person
A Closer Look.
A Personal Voice.
Magyar Minute is where I share my perspective as an outsider living in Hungary. A meal, a workshop or a press conference can open a larger story. I bring what I observe together with researched context and a clearly expressed personal view.
Video brings you into the room. Articles give me space to check the details and add context. English stories and Hungarian versions bring more people into the conversation, with room for contributors who have something to share.
Magyar Minute is published by Rayofla Kft., my media production company. Through Rayofla, I also create video, photography, audio and written stories for businesses and organizations.
