Many people have been talking and blogging about this. But in the event you haven’t heard, the Web site MediaOnTwitter.com provides a free, comprehensive database of media who are on Twitter.
A team of PR pros developed this database, including Denverite and partner at Digital Idea Media Melissa Hourigan, social media PR maven Sarah Evans, HARO founder Peter Shankman, and TrackVia’s Ed Dunigan, among others.
As Melissa said, “…we were able to create the most comprehensive MediaOnTwitter global database available. There were a few late night work sessions but the opportunity to give the Twitter community something useful was driving the team to get it done.”
The database enables users to locate media by beat, location, name or media outlet on Twitter. And did I mention it’s free?!
I’ve already started using MediaOnTwitter to find and follow journalists, and I’ve discovered the database to be simple and easy to navigate. This is a great resource for PR people and media alike. Thanks to all who developed this database.

I performed a similar exercise in the Ad/Media Buying & Planning/PR/Digital agency world and created a wiki (fully editable) for 344 multi-discipline agencies shown in the Advertising Age Family Tree. 161 of the 344 agencies have a twitter feed. The rest don’t yet.
You can find a link to the list on my blog here: http://www.jbcopeland.com/blog/?p=1
Thanks!
Great post! I was wondering how to find good ‘twitter’ content. Thanks for sharing this.
Hey Beth, thanks for spreading the word. We hope to incorporate additional features and resources for PR pros in the future. Just need a few more hours in the day. We appreciate your support and great post!
Thanks, Melissa! We love MediaOnTwitter and are finding it very helpful. Can’t wait to see what additional features and resources are to come. Thanks again for the time and effort you all have put into it!
Thanks for the comment, 1websurfer! Glad you found the post helpful.
Hi, Josh. Thanks for the information. You’ve developed a great list. And I like that it’s editable! It can be difficult to find certain agencies on Twitter – it’s so nice to have the primary companies listed in once place. Thanks!
You’re very welcome! Twitter.PBWiki.com seems to be the primary one for Twitter listings, so your list would probably be a great addition too. Glad you liked it- and thanks for taking a look.
If you wanna know more about wiki setups, lemme know.
