Early life

[edit]

Trojanová was born in Prague in 1987.[1] When she was young, Trojanová and her brother often played video games together on a Sega Mega Drive that they received when she was six years old. Every week, her father would take her to a games bazaar close to his barracks to sell their old games and buy new ones. When she was older, she enjoyed games like Heroes of Might and Magic and Hexen.[2]

Trojanová began her career writing for the now-defunct Czech version of GameStar magazine in 2004.[3] She studied at Charles University, where she received a degree in marketing communication and public relations in 2011[1] and a master's degree in media studies.[3]

Career

A job working in internet marketing at the publishing house Ringier led Trojanová to start writing about games for ABC  [cs], a youth-oriented science and technology magazine owned by Ringier,[2] and then Score  [cs] game magazine.[4] Trojanová and Mikoláš Tuček [cs] became well-known for cohosting the video game television program Re-play  [cs], on Prima Cool, from 2011 to 2019.[5][6] In 2015, internet media company Tiscali Media launched entertainment website Booom.cz, that would be managed by Trojanová in collaboration with YouTubers such as Jiří Král [cs].[7]

After the pair's contract with Televize Seznam was terminated later that year,[8][9] Trojanová moved to Tiscali Media,[9] joining the editorial board and managing video content of its website Games.cz  [cs].[10] That year she also began hosting Geek News, a technology and software news show, for online electronics retailer CZC.cz [cs].[11]
