In my master's thesis, I focus on the analysis of the work of sports journalists during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sports journalism is a special branch of this profession. The key components of it are sports broadcasting, which is extremely popular for the public, and interviews with athletes and coaches. The aim of the master's thesis is to present the essential differences in the work of sports journalists and commentators before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought many drastic changes in all areas of our lives. In the theoretical part of the master's thesis, journalism in general, the characteristics and peculiarities of sports journalism and sports journalism compared to other types of journalism, are presented. This is followed by a description of what happened during the pandemic and a detailed description of what happened at sports competitions and sports journalism. The main part of the master's thesis is the empirical part, which is based on the qualitative analysis of directed interviews conducted with various sports journalists and commentators. Based on the information obtained, I will show how sports journalists and commentators have adapted to the new situation.
