@ndurner @tchambers @ianhillmedia Coming from Twitter I was missing some of the news sources I was used to so I made a series of bots that pull posts into Mastodon. Hopefully eventually these outlets will be here, but for now I’m hoping this makes the transition more viable for people. Open to feedback. I thought you might consider adding them to your list? https://newsrelay.org/@admin/following

@TheSteve I don't see how the two data sets could be integrated nicely: in TChambers' data set, a lot of journalists gave their affiliation as "The Guardian", but did not use the more specific monikers from your list ("Guardian UK", "Guardian US"). So this can't be used to build hyperlinks. Any thoughts?

@ndurner yes, some of the bots use global feeds others use regional feeds. Sometimes that’s because I could not find a single global like The Guardian. Sometimes it’s because there is such breadth to their coverage I thought it more useful to let people follow specific feeds. If there were a CSV that linked the publication name, their URL, and a feed account would that help? For some it might be an official account like ProPublica, for others it goes to newsrelay.org?

@TheSteve It's on a presentation level where I am unsure about how to combine the two data sets. The current webpage presentation is based on a CSV export, that's right. I have published the scripts and a step-by-step guide here: https://github.com/ndurner/journalists_on_mastodon, in the hope this will be useful to you to work with. Happy hacking!
