CNBC anchor Jim Cramer is the top media person followed by chief executive officers on Twitter, according to communications firm Rational 360.
Cramer is followed by 36 percent of the 100 Fortune 500 CEOs who have Twitter accounts.
CNBC anchor and New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin, is second, followed by 24% of CEOs. Independent commentator and frequent Vox Media contributor Kara Swisher is third, followed by 22% of CEOs.
CNBC’s David Faber is fourth at 19%.
Fortune 500 CEOs pay more attention to CNBC than any other outlet. More than a third of CEOs follow CNBC. Journalists from “Squawk Box” and “Mad Money” are the most followed journalists.
More than half of the CEOs follow media figures who write about business; 44% follow tech and 32% follow sports. This is relatively consistent with trends observed in 2022.
A global perspective is lacking. Over 90% of journalists followed most by Fortune 500 CEOs are based in the U.S.
