A List of News Organizations using Twitter
Several traditional media organizations are using Twitter to distribute breaking news and alerts in a timely manner. Many media employees are also using Twitter to inform their followers of news as they happen, before they get back to the newsroom.
I’ve tried to condense a list of traditional media organizations using Twitter, with links to their Twitter accounts and graphs of their Twitter usage. I’ve only included those that have recent activity.
If you know of a news organization using Twitter as a distribution outlet, drop me a message through the comments form below, indicating their name and Twitter account.
You can follow me on Twitter at @cgranier.

South African newsrooms are also experimenting with Twitter, but its adoption as a mainstream tool has been limited by limited bandwidth and awareness. Tweets from the online voice of Grocott’s Mail – the oldest independent newspaper in South Africa can be found at http://www.twitter.com/grocotts.
BTW. novel way to get traffic on your blog
