Kristýna Jelínková is a journalist. Although she studied Territorial Studies at Charles University's Faculty of Social Sciences and foreign affairs are her expertise, her career has centered on domestic politics. She first set foot in the Chamber of Deputies in early 2021 as a reporter for TV Seznam, and has spent more time there than at home ever since. She covered the political scene for nearly three years with Czech Television's Události (Current events) news program, and after the 2025 parliamentary elections, she joined the weekly Respekt.
