He sees his work on the front lines not as a job, but as a mission.

Since 1990 he has worked for Czech Radio, except for six years (1998-2004) when he worked for Czech Television. In September 2014, he was briefly detained by pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, together with his colleague Vít Pohanka.

In May 2016, he received the Karel Havlíček Borovský Award “for objectivity and exceptional reporting from war conflicts and crisis areas”.

In January 2022, Martin Dorazín left Warsaw for Ukraine, one of the first to go to the then flourishing city of Mariupol in anticipation of war. He recorded the beginning of the conflict and stayed close to the heaviest fighting for a year. He was one of the last to leave the now devastated Mariupol. In October 2022, he took up a newly created position for Czech Radio as their permanent correspondent in Ukraine. In February 2023, he received the prestigious Ferdinand Peroutka Journalism Award.
