[1] Figyelő covered a broad range of subjects, such as politics, business, economy, society, technology, and to some extent culture, its approach being economy- or business-related wherever possible.

It has started and covered several infamous stories of Hungarian politics, notably, the "Tocsik-case" in 1996, a corruption scandal related to the then-socialist-liberal government coalition of Hungary.

Figyelő's sections are headed by Gergely Brückner (finance, investment), Ágnes Lilla Kovács (society, style), István Váczi (companies, markets, management, small enterprises), György Dózsa (macroeconomy), Zoltán Baka F. (monitor), Gábor Halaska (IT), and Péter Bucsky (science).

[5] It has been reported that since the acquisition by K4A Lapkiadó in December 2016 the magazine has actively started to lean heavily in the favour of the policies of Viktor Orbán, for example, in April 2018 it published a list of 200 people claimed to be 'mercenaries' funded by George Soros to topple the Hungarian government.

[6][7][8] The cover of a December 2018 issue of Figyelő showed an image of the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities president Andras Heisler with money floating around him.
