Tamás Harle (born 1 May 1960) is a Hungarian journalist, author and media lecturer. As author, editor and publisher he worked on more than 20 books.

Education

After graduating from the Apáczai Csere János Practice School, he earned his bachelor's degree at Kiss Janos University of Primary and Pre-School Education in 1984. During his time at the university, he served six months as a marine on the cargo ship Tata, traveling on the Mediterranean sea. In 2008, Harle earned his master's degree in philosophy at the University of Pecs.

Career

He started his journalism career interning at the editorial office of National Sport. He later became a full-time employee at the newspaper. In 1989, he was co-founder of Hungary's first independent daily newspaper Mai Nap. He founded a publishing company with Laszlo Ladonyi before the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, where he wrote, edited and published sports books.

He began working as a media lecturer in 1992 and was selected Lecturer of the Year in 1994. He started doing research in 1997 on the history and development of journalism genres in the Hungarian press. As a media lecturer, Harle focused on the interconnection of theory and practice, which he demonstrated in the classroom with role playing games and exercises modeling editorial practice. Student feedback played an essential part in the development of his teaching practice and study of genres. In 2012, his book, The Art and Craft of Journalism was published.

His career in Hungarian television started in 1992 when Sziv TV began broadcasting his weekly talk-shows for two and a half years from the Komedium Movie Theatre, and later from Vigado Concert Hall. His guests included prominent personalities of Hungarian cultural and public life. After a study trip to France in 1994, he produced and hosted Candlelit on Hungarian Television.

In 1998 he was commissioned by Axel Springer Hungary to develop the concept for Sunday Morning, a nationwide weekly Sunday newspaper. He continued to be chief-editor of Sunday morning for two years after the launch. He then became a freelance journalist publishing nationwide in papers and magazines such as Free People, World Economy, Sport Plusz, The Observer and Playboy.
