Pavlína Kvapilová worked for public service media for almost two decades. She held various positions in both domestic and foreign news coverage. Apart from other things, she worked as a foreign correspondent in Brussels; on Czech Public TV she was the head of the Události, komentáře programme team; she co-created the interactive programme Hyde Park ČT24. Most recently she was the manager of the New Media division, from which she was dismissed last year following a public dispute over the case of Daniela Drtinová and Czech Public TV's way of news coverage. At the time being, Kvapilová is a freelancer. She still considers journalism crucial - she wants to seek new models based on the renaissance of journalism. She is also engaged in writing, hosting, training, and consulting; she organizes community events and loves meditating through calligraphy. She tries to invest her time in what she finds meaningful. She believes that grass-root activities bring new fresh energy into society and she wants to support this trend with what she does.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
