This is a great resources, and I commented on that at MyRagan. But, will you share how your getting these resources? Are you just doing a traditional key word search in Twitter? Are there other resources?

Comment by Rodger D. Johnson — May 2, 2008 #
Rodger, I did some web research, found several other bloggers with lists and compiled those. Then, I did a Twitter search for “reporter” and “journalist”. I’m still compiling that list because it is large and requires me to view each listing to ensure they are with a legitimate media outlet.

Ars Technica (http://twitter.com/arstechnica) was one of the first, if not first, news outlets using twitter to break news and communicate with its readers.

Several of our editors and journalists use Twitter extensively,
Jacqui Cheng, assistant editor (http://twitter.com/ejacqui) has well over 1300 followers.

Even the EIC of Ars tweets:
