Summary/Abstract: Instagram journalism – the trend where professional journalists use their Instagram proiles to report news and share information live – is slowly gaining traction. Instagram as a platform is used for a more personalized way of newscasting – the journalists usually provide further explanations to news reports, or they provide much needed context to them, which puts Instagram journalism to a bit of a contrast to traditional journalistic methods. We try to answer the question whether it is possible to put Instagram journalism as its own subgenre of journalism, or if it is just a potentially short-lived trend made possible by today’s technological advance.
