Beat Writers on Twitter (1 Viewer)

[grantsa4]

Is there a list of all of the beat writers that are on twitter and their twitter names anywhere?

If not, who are the beat writers that you do follow?

I am trying to update my twitter beat writer list.

Thanks

Bloom follows most of them, and knows who has the quality info/takes.

I'm not sure if he created a Twitter list, but I bet he would be open to doing so, and then everyone could just follow that list.

That would be awesome.

I do follow a few, but I am sure there are some that I don't know about yet

 

[Jene Bramel]

Bloom has lists on his twitter page.

I follow buzztap for a lot of my news... each team has a @buzztap account on twitter... probably the best way to follow all of them is to follow 1 of them like @titansbuzztap and then click to see who they are following... they follow all 31 other teams and from there you can click to follow each one that you want.

a lot of the buzz tap articles are written by beat writers from the teams... the key is to be able to decide which of the articles you want to read based on beat writers that you trust to actually know what they are talking about. Footballguys talk pretty frequently about trusting certain writers from places like Pewter report (Bucs) or like Omar Kelly (Dolphins).

Some pretty good stuff on there.

Happy hunting!!

The list covers all of the beat writers I know of out there, and there's also a "general NFL" list for people like Schefter and Michael Lombardi. When I get a little time (yeah right) I plan on doing some culling of the lists and rating the best beat writers to follow for each team.

@ChrisWesseling aka Fear & Loathing in the SP has a nfl-beat-writers list as well... but it looks pretty much the same as blooms fwiw. i've been following chris' list for some time now. great stuff.

I remember you mentioning this on a podcast. When I tried Jene’s link it didn’t work. Any chance you can re-post?

The best Beat writers were Corso, Ferlinghetti and Gary Snyder. Kerouac was a hack.

I was telling my nephew about the hippies and the Beats. They honestly do not teach the kids about these things at all.

I embarrassedly read him Ginsberg’s “Howl”

I stopped a quarter of the way through and said, “you get the idea”

Lol

eta* he’s twenty-one. still embarrassing. him not knowing who the hippies were got me going about politics and the curriculum. I’m not enamored of the hippies. never was. but how do you totally not mention that once from K-12 and then two years at the Walter Cronkite Broadcasting Program at ASU? daheque?

I'm with you in Rockland

My oldest went to one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country, but with an emphasis on STEM. Vacation weeks and summers were spent filling in the humanities gaps lol (trip to Stratford, seeing offbroadway plays, foreign travel.) He didn't get much in undergrad either but then again it was a technology research university.

I was an accounting major but my favorite classes were in arts & literature. My fellow CPAs are some of the most boring people I've ever been around and I'm convinced it's because they lack curiosity or interest outside their profession. Their narrow path is no way to go through life.

best Detroit Lions beats, by a good margin:

• @davebirkett Detroit Free Press
• @DetroitOnLion Pride of Detroit Editor Jeremy Reisman
• @Justin_Rogers Detroit Football Network

There is a lot of slop out there, it's worthwhile to be discerning and understand who is being straight and has integrity. Many folks are only interested in growing the revenue streams and have no clear concept of a neutral, journalistic approach.

You were telling the story while I was providing background. I found that gap in knowledge actually alarming.

I don't know if this has been updated but Jeff Haseley has a beat writers list on twitter.
