Twitter Lists
![Page 8: Using Social Media as Powerful Reporting Tools by Carla Zanoni - Philadelphia NewsTrain - Nov. 13-14, 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ed35ea1a28abbd048b45e3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
HOW Follow people and brands that make sense for your beat. Don’t overwhelm your feed by following too many people. Follow the right people and organize everyone else into lists. Look at profiles and feeds before deciding to follow.
Modify search for “people” to get started. Sometimes Google is a better way to find a handle. Whom do other people follow (e.g., colleagues, sources, other journalists)? Competitors’ staff lists are a good place to find other journalists in your market. Like what someone else retweeted? Follow the source of the tweet.
