A List of News Organizations using Twitter

ByCarlos Granier

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.

A Spanish-language version of this post is available on my regular column at Technosailor.

What’s Google up to?

ByCarlos Granier

Google has been busy lately acquiring companies (blogger, picasa, keyhole) and developing software (gmail, desktop search). Where’s Google headed with all this and what else do they need to get there? One common theme across the latest movements from Google (picasa, keyhole, desktop search) is Microsoft Windows. All these programs are Windows-only. Even the GMail…

  30. The financial trade press are well represented as well. As are sports. I agree that this is still just the tip of the iceberg.

  45. I'm noticing a whole load of media companies that now use Twitter, but don't think they all use them effectively. Some have so many tweets that it becomes hard to keep up and rather annoying too. I think some (not all) media companies need to evaluate their use of Twitter so followers aren't bombarded with tweets.
