'disturbed in' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'unexpected event with journalist' is the wordplay.
'unexpected event' becomes 'twist' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'twist'+'ed'='TWISTED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twisted that I've seen before include "Emotionally unbalanced" , "Warped, perverted" , "Danced" , "Distorted; cheated" , "Bent - perverted" .)
