Hello and welcome to my portfolio site!
I’m Alexander Faludy, a British-Hungarian freelance journalist based in Budapest. I write mainly about politics in Hungary and the country’s diplomatic relations, but also cover a broad range of topics including: religion, corruption and migration.
Prior to taking up journalism I served for a decade as a parish priest in the Church of England. I hold a BA in Theology and History of Art from Cambridge and an M.St. in Theology from Oxford. My degree from Cambridge was gained at the unusually early age of 18, making me the university’s youngest graduate in over 200 years.
My bylines have appeared across a broad spread of general and specialist media including: The Irish Times, The Guardian, The i Paper, The Spectator, Church Times, National Catholic Reporter, and The Tablet. I also supply radio commentary on Hungary for several UK stations.
In the field of public policy, I’ve had work published by the Royal United Services Institute, UK in a Changing Europe, Equal Rights Trust, and Transparency International.
Besides my news coverage and political analysis I also welcome opportunities to review books and art exhibitions, and to write both historical and literary feature articles. Occasionally I’ve undertaken book editing projects, both fiction and non-fiction.
On this site you’ll find a selection of my best pieces from across a variety of genres —I hope you’ll enjoy them. Please don’t hesitate to reach out via the contact form if you’d like to discuss a collaboration or if you have any questions about my work.
