Most Influential Journalists On Twitter That I think Will Be Worth Following
Ever wondered who the most influential journalists on Twitter?
Today, I’ve compiled a list to help you discover some of the most influential journalists that i think will be worth following on Twitter, ranked by number of Twitter followers. Our leader-board will be updated regularly to recognize the most inspiring journalists on Twitter that are worth following. If you feel you should be on the list, drop us a line, please.
This is by no means a complete list, we use 5 key Twitter metrics to rank the most Twittery journalists, all of which are given equal weighting:
1. Number of followers
2. Number of @ mentions
3. Number of retweets
4. Network influence
5. Size of your “engaged audience”
*Please keep in mind, there are many journalists on Twitter, who have far fewer followers than the big stars, and whose tweets are more likely to be shared, retweeted, etc. It is also worth mentioning that there are many more journalists and reporters, not listed here — but equally influential. All numbers were pulled — October, 2016 and will change over time as the follower counts fluctuate.
