Abstract
Thee present research looks at the way information was broadcast over radio frequencies of Radio Free Europe and Radio Kossuth, during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. It is an attempt to show the influence of this information and the opinions that go along with it, on the revolutionaries and, implicitly, on the unfolding events of the revolution itself. In order to do so, it relies heavily on the transcripts of broadcast of the two aforementioned radio stations. Thee research also aims to highlight how this particular branch of the media could affect not only the events of the revolution, but the perception of it as well, especially in Transylvania.
