This chapter, published in *The International Journal of Press/Politics*, explores the usage of different political conflict frames in online and offline communication. The study identifies four conceptual dimensions of political conflicts: style (civil/uncivil), subject (personal/substantive), whether it is about underlying moral/epistemic principles (deep/superficial conflict), and whether it concerns a normative or factual issue. The analysis of Dutch newspaper articles and politicians' tweets reveals that most conflicts are civil and substantive, with a limited presence of deep and non-substantive conflicts. Interestingly, uncivil conflicts are more common among opposition parties and right-wing populist parties, while deep conflicts are predominantly used by right-wing populist parties. The findings suggest that while civil and substantive conflicts can foster reasonable debate, deep conflicts may hinder effective political deliberation and contribute to polarization. The study provides a nuanced understanding of conflict framing and its implications for democracy, highlighting the need to further investigate the effects of different conflict types on citizens' political attitudes.This chapter, published in *The International Journal of Press/Politics*, explores the usage of different political conflict frames in online and offline communication.
