There was a site somewhere that had a list of UK journalists and used to update the number of followers automatically every day. I can't find it any more - I guess it must have stopped. I tried to do a similar daily automatic update with this data but was defeated by the update limits on google sreadsheets and the like. Anyway, the reason I use official accounts was because the journalist data already existed. As it no longer does, maybe when I get the time, I'll do a list of journalists to sit alongside this list.
