This project started last December when my employer, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, started using Twitter. The first list included 55 accounts (23 newspapers) and was published in February. Since then, I have added accounts as I find them (or you tell me about them). I have also added accounts for newspaper employees who include information about their paper in their bio. These are not all official newspaper accounts — several reporters use Twitter for work and fun. Let me know if you want your name taken off of the list.

Did I miss someone? Leave a comment or send me an e-mail.

    My apologies. I see now it’s under “Journal Sentinel” rather than “Milwaukee.”
