Jan Moláček has worked as a journalist for 20 years. Most of this time, he spent at the Czech Television – the public TV broadcaster of the Czech Republic. As a foreign desk reporter he covered Middle East and served as a correspondent in Berlin, Moscow and Vienna. In 2013, Jan focused on investigative journalism, later started to write opinion pieces and anchored a radio interview show.

Last year, Jan joined a group of journalists who decided to establish the first Czech online media outlet financed only by its subscribers, in an attempt to combat the trend of more and more media serving business, political and propaganda interests. The project, Deník N, launched successfully at the end of October.
