Thanks for compiling this valuable list. I wonder if there is a national media list like this.
Good question. I know of wiki lists that exist providing twitter accounts for individual journalists, (not well organized by outlet, I might add). I feel a new project coming on. Perhaps I will create social media list for national outlets as well. Thanks for the spark!
Myself, Ann Douglas and lots of tweeps — probably you too — have national journalists twitter lists, so I know what you mean. I have a list of 6 Ottawa bureaus with tweet feeds of political stories but they are one-way … then you’d have to drill down to their online editors who tweet like @wicary at the Globe…big job. Here’s the six all the same (Babble-free feeds from Hill bureaus Ntl Post, CP, Globe, Sun, CBC, CPAC.) http://twitter.com/#!/JulietONeill/hill-politics-bureaus/members
Lists are great for tracking individual journalists and outlets feeds. I have a few – some public, some private and locked. I should devote some time to organizing them to be more efficient. You’re right – it IS a big job!
Thanks for sharing this list!! It’s super helpful.
