Meet the editor

Elizabeth Zahradníček Haas
Founder and Editor, Czechish

I'm an American journalist who has called Prague home for nearly 20 years. I've spent much of that time reporting on Czechia, getting to know its people and trying to understand the country beyond the headlines.

Before founding Czechish, I was editor-in-chief of Expats.cz. Earlier in my career, I worked in magazine journalism and book publishing in New York. I've also raised a Czech-American family here, which has given me plenty of firsthand experience with the complications of living between languages and cultures.

After twenty years of living and reporting from Czechia, I realized I still had an awful lot of questions about how this country works, who gets heard and where people like me fit into it. So I started Czechish to spend more time asking them.

I'm still learning about Czechia after all these years.
