The study focuses on two Moscow-based correspondents, Shaun Walker and Alec Luhn, and a photojournalist, Paul Hansen, all of whom created parallel conflict narratives on Twitter while reporting on the Ukraine conflict for legacy newspapers. Their use of Twitter is examined here in the context of “personalised reporting” that allows for more opinion and displays of emotion than are typically acceptable in traditional news reporting. The results demonstrate the coexistence of the traditional media’s visualisation of conflict with that driven by social media logic.22enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessconflict reportingjournalismpersonalisationTwitterUkraine crisisvisual narrativePOLITICAL JOURNALISTS USEWARNEWSHUMORTWEETMedia and communicationsArticleopenAccess3da169a9-2575-4cef-89e7-b023aa9db38885033720918000461774300007000461774300007
