Lizzie O’Leary, a Washington-based correspondent for Bloomberg Television, spoke to the Atlantic and talked about how important Twitter has become in relaying a story.
“On Twitter, Heidi Moore is great on the business side. For national security stuff, Marc Ambinder is ahead of the game. Rachel Sklar, who is a friend of mine, is a one-woman media industry and tech news source. There’s also a group of Hill journalists who I follow and play with: Olivier Knox, Jake Tapper,Brian Beutler. I also follow Anna Holmes fairly religiously. I have real-life friendships and working relationships that sprouted from digital ones, like Mac McClelland from Mother Jones. We met because we were both covering the oil spill together, and she’s done stuff in Haiti, Uganda, the Congo. She’s taken Twitter reporting to new forms–little microbursts of storytelling. I follow a ton of politicians because they often make announcements that way; they tend to scoop themselves a lot. And I follow a lot of comedians: Neal Brennan, Liana Maeby, Tyler Coates, Aasif Mandvi, who was my date to the White House Correspondents Dinner.”
