This is an updated and categorized version of my messy first attempt last month: https://mastodon.social/@drewharwell/109551525081139777.

I'll add as more journalists join, as is happening all the time. Please flag any I've missed.

(To make it easier to follow across instances, I use Mastodon Link, a free extension available for Chrome and Firefox: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mastodon-link/nlfdgcdfjnobjocicnddjghdbmgglame / https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mastodon-link/)

@drewharwell

Where is Washington Post?

Thanks for posting - I've added your post to my collection here: https://recknsense.com/recknlist/ - just created this to store useful lists

Doesn't wapo have an instance yet? I'd think they'd want to use that for the validation.

THANK YOU for this list. Will follow all. 🙏

@drewharwell

Thanks for the list! I wish that more Washington Post journalists were ACTIVE on Mastodon. Many of these accounts aren't exactly posting regularly.

Also, when is WaPo going to create its own Fediverse instance? You'd think news orgs would be thrilled at having an alternative to social media that is owned by people like Elon Musk who bans journalists from Twitter and makes news orgs bow to his wishes to avoid being banned.

Disappointed at how cowardly the media has been.

Anyone talking about what a mockery McCarthy is making of the House? Don’t know because of the paywall.

@drewharwell Most of these accounts are not active. Of the 30 accounts you list, only 14 have posted at all within the last week:

@geoffreyfowler
@JosephMenn
@jeremybmerrill
@markseibel
@Shira
@tatumhunter
@taylorlorenz
@willoremus
@pbump
@perrybacon
@andrewvandam
@databae
@teddyamen
@gbrockell

...and only a small few are truly "on Mastodon."

It's great that WP journalists are doing something with Mastodon, but so far it is not many and not much.

@drewharwell Thanks for sharing the list.

Here is a link to a CSV file that can be imported to your following list if you prefer doing it that way.

@drewharwell

TY so much.

@drewharwell

Thank you for this!

@drewharwell Thanks, I appreciate this list.

On a related note, how the **** hasn't Mastodon figured out how to make following easier?

This is one heck of a tedious task, to click each open... Isn't following the most important part of social media, it should be easy right?
