Tibor Méray

Tibor Méray (6 April 1924 – 12 November 2020) was a Hungarian journalist and writer, worked for various newspapers (''Szabad Nép'', ''Csillag'') during the Communist regime. He was a war correspondent for ''Szabad Nép'' (official daily of the ruling communist Hungarian Working People's Party and predecessor of the ''Népszabadság'') during the Korean War.

As a supporter of the politics of Imre Nagy, he fled the country after the abortive uprising of 1956 and became a staunch anti-Communist, living in Paris, France. After working for several journals, he was editor-in-chief of the ''Irodalmi Újság'', an important emigrant Hungarian-language weekly in Paris, from 1971 to 1989.

He co-wrote the 1969 comedy spy novel ''Catch Me a Spy'', which was later adapted into a 1971 film ''To Catch a Spy'' starring Kirk Douglas.
