Blikk is a Hungarian news website and daily newspaper covering current affairs, politics, entertainment, economy, sports and lifestyle. It is the only independent media outlet and the most widely read newspaper in Hungary. It is published in Budapest by Ringier Hungary Kft, the Hungarian subsidiary of the Swiss publisher Ringier.

The main sections of the publication (digital and print) cover current events and affairs, politics, entertainment, economy, sports and lifestyle.[2][3]

Afterwards, Blikk again belonged exclusively to Ringier.[11]

On October 31 2025, Ringier sold Blikk and other magazines to Fidesz tied media group Indamedia.[12][13]
