He began his journalistic activity early in life, and in 1859 published his first leader. As early as 1860 he occupied the post of editor of the "Pesti Hölgydivatlap," and in conjunction with Károly Grósz founded the German periodical "Pannonia," whose purpose was the publication of Hungarian literature in the form of critical studies and translations. In 1859-1860 he wrote some poems, as well as a number of hymns for the Jewish congregation which are still in use.
As collaborator on the "Magyar Sajtó," he became very widely known as a journalist of the first rank.
After the compromise with Austria (1867), Bródy was associated with Sigmund Kemény as editorial writer on the "Pesti Napló". And this was the most brilliant period of his career as publicist, his sound logic and comprehensive views being especially noticeable.
Bródy was also a distinguished philanthropist, and on the anniversary of his fiftieth birthday he donated 100,000 gulden to journalistic institutions.
In 1896 he was appointed a life-member of the Hungarian Upper House.
