«Postimees has an opinion. We will present our views regarding issues important to the society more clearly,» said Hussar who has worked in the public broadcaster ERR as a TV and radio presenter for the past 10 years.
According to Hussar, the goals of Postimees and Estonia's Constitution are the same -- preservation of the Estonian people, language and culture. He added that the way Postimees talks and writes about the Estonian society and state should be caring, responsible and critical, if necessary.
Hussar will take over from Merit Kopli who will become Estonia's cultural adviser in Berlin in August. In addition, Peep Kala will take over Kopli's place as board chairman of Postimees Grupp.
