Communication has accelerated significantly, the amount of information we need to perceive, select and process has increased several times, and its credibility has become questionable. These and other technological changes, as well as other factors associated with political or social processes, have also marked the culture of society.Journalists are required to have much more skills and an immediate ability to deal dynamically and flexibly with the demands of these times. The set processes of media production and stereotypes of its perception were significantly changed by another relevant milestone of the21st century, the Covid-19 pandemic. It closed people in their households, prevented direct contacts, restricted work and changed communication processes. It also significantly marked the work of television creators, their media outlets, as well as the entire television culture.
