The article attempts to comprehend the creative biography of Alexander Fedorchak, a war correspondent for Izvestia. By systematizing facts from Fedorchak’s professional life and conducting a comprehensive analysis of his works, the article reveals the specific personal, creative, and professional attitudes of the journalist. A. Fedorchak’s creative potential was based not only on his determination, skill in the craft, and patriotism, but also on his individual approach to presenting material: using the method of participant observation in each report, engaging in a confidential conversation with the audience, and employing various means of communication to establish contact, as well as experiencing and conveying his impressions to the audience. This approach allowed the audience not only to receive information and witness the events, but also to «live through» them alongside the author, capturing not only the names and facts, but also the emotional and moral content of the events. Alexander Fedorchak, who grew up as a sports journalist and is passionate about football, has made a firm decision to be where his homeland and profession need him. The special military operation has played a fateful role in the reporter’s life, but it has also forever etched his name in the history of Russian military journalism, placing him alongside the war correspondents of the Great Patriotic War and other heroes of the Hall of Fame of Crimean Journalism at the Institute of Media Communications, Medical Technologies, and Design at the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University.
