A fellow Twit pointed me to the Shorty Awards, a popularity contest of sorts for top Twitterers.
I wonder how many mainstream media outlets are nominated…?
I’m going to Tweet this, post the question to FB, throw it at my friends over at Old Media, New Tricks, and dig a little myself. My suspicion is not many, but we’ll see.
Of the five finalists, only the Chicago Tribune is traditional, “old-school” dead tree media. The others are:
– a twitter aggregator
– a PR consultant (it seems)
– an art library director
– an assignment editor for a local NBC affiliate, who also uses his page as a personal Twitter feed
