Indian journalists Twitter lists for PR professionals

We have talked about using Twitter to enhance your media relations practice in the past. We talked about how many journalists are using Twitter today and some of us are now directly pitching to them using the 140 characters miracle. Our media friends love it too – it’s fast, crisp, and devoid of any fat adjectives.
Some time back, Twitter launched Twitter lists for its users. Now Twitter users can assemble other Twitter users that he/ she likes into groups and follow them. This I thought was a fantastic way for me to sort and follow people, if you are following a large number of people and you don’t want to use any third party apps. For instance, I follow more than 11,000 people and used to have Tweetdeck to sort out users. Now I can do it directly on Twitter and also share the lists for other people. I created a list of digital marketers in India to keep up with their tweets.
The possibilities are endless. There are many interesting lists already. One lists I found that could be very useful for PR professionals is this list of Indian journalists. Check it out.
Let us know if you found any other useful lists for PR professionals. By the way, you can follow India PR Blog on Twitter and here is also my Twitter profile.

Pitching on twitter is definetly coming up. However, Twitter being an open platform PR flacks need to play a little safe and
tweet/pitch only when you know or have interacted with the journalists, as we cannot afford a reply/RT that goes like “what was the org/agency thinking while drafting this…”

Hi Kenneth, you are absolutely right. The way of pitching on Twitter needs to be different than an email pitch.
