A number of people have been asking for a good twitter directory of journalists. Now there is one. Muckrack is a basic site that has created a growing directory of journalists organized by media outlet. Don’t get me wrong, this is no Facebook for journalists, but this is a great way to reach out to old colleagues, connect with other newsrooms, and collaborate on breaking news. Be warned, it does require that you commit to using Twitter.
