Almost three years ago, I compiled a list of the best Danish Twitter profiles about #journalism. But things move fast online, so I thought now was the time to put together a new and updated list – and also tied it close to the list that was the inspiration for the original listing, namely Sarah Marshall’s list of “100 Twitter accounts every journalism student should follow“.
So, here it my list of 15 people on Twitter, every (Danish) journalism student should follow – either because they might know where the profession and the media business is heading or simply because they often say something meaningful of interest:
- Carrie Brown (@Brizzyc): Social journalism director at CUNY
- Benjamin Rud Elberth (@BenjaminElberth): Digital strategist and lobbyist at Geelmyunden Kiese, pundit
- Ståle Grut (@stalebg): Digital strategist at Tinius Trust
- Karin Wahl-Jorgensen (@KarinWahlJ): Professor at Cardiff University
- Liquid Newsroom (Steffen Konrad, @StKonrad): “Curated news for journalists & news media”
- Mindy McAdams (@macloo): Professor at the University of Florida
- Andreas Marckmann (@amarckmann): Digital editor at Fagbladet Journalisten
- Rasmus Kleis Nielsen (@rasmus_kleis): Director at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University
- Maria Bendix Olsen (@FrkBendix): Journalistic lecturer at Roskilde University
- Ernst Poulsen (@ernstpoulsen): Journalist
- Troels Runge (@runello): Digital consultant, social media analyst of #dkpol
- Kristian Støbech (@kstrobech): Associate Professor at the Danish School of Media and Journalism
- Filip Wallberg (@fiwa): Editor at Jysk Fynske Medier, geek
- Amy Schmitz Weiss (@digitalamysw): Associate Professor at San Diego State University
- Stig Ørskov (@orskov): CEO at JP/Politikens Hus
Furthermore, the Danish journalism students should follow the hashtags #SDUjour, #rucjour, and #DMJX which are used on the journalism educations.
Who did I forget?
Update April 16, 2015: In the discussion following the publication of this list, two Twitter accounts have been mentioned as someone I forgot but who rightfully deserves special mentioning:
- Magnus Bjerg (@MagnusBjerg): Journalist, leader of digital development team at Danish TV 2
- Per Westergaard (@perwestergaard): Editor-in-chief at Fyens Stiftstidende
So, now it’s a list of 15 + 2 Twitter accounts
