Kristýna Jelínková began her career in journalism during her studies. Although she graduated in Area Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, and international affairs are close to her heart, she focuses professionally mainly on domestic politics. She first entered the Chamber of Deputies at the beginning of 2021, then as a reporter for TV Seznam. Since then, she has spent more time at Sněmovní 1 than at home. She followed the political scene for almost three years in the Události newsroom of Czech Television. After the parliamentary elections in 2025, she joined the editorial team of the weekly Respekt.
