Muck Rack – Journalist Twitter Feed Aggregator
Here’s an interesting idea. Check out Muck Rack — a Web site that tracks Twitter messages written by the journalists who do the muckraking for major media outlets.
According to MuckRack.com, “What if you could get tomorrow’s newspaper today? Now you sorta can. Muck Rack makes it easy to follow one line, real time reporting.” Basically, it aggregates all the journalist feeds per a particular publication such as the New York Times or the Washington Post.
To me, it’s interesting to read rough, stream-of-consciousness tweets from journalists whose work we otherwise only read when it’s completely spit-polished by editors. They also offer photos — many very amateur looking, but real. For news and media junkies, it’s a must-bookmark.
