I heard Bluesky is popular with journalists, who can I follow on here? I'm particularly interested in anyone doing investigative reporting, data journalism or just generally talking about the craft and process of great reporting - ThreadSky

I just discovered this starter pack they made of journalists and it was super helpful: https://go.bsky.app/ATJ2XJT

Thank you for this.

Heavy on tech but a good list. Starter packs are crazy helpful.

I think it might be more sensible to actually tell the journalists you do admire to also use BlueSky.

jcsalterego.bsky.social•141 days ago

start with @joshuajfriedman.com and probably a lot of his starter pack https://bsky.app/starter-pack/joshuajfriedman.com/3kvuh7u324m2c

jcsalterego.bsky.social•141 days ago

and @josephcox.bsky.social and @404media.co

I’ve got a data journalism list here: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:sorhbyjas5rgtuanglvmbyo2/lists/3kdmvpre5cx2i

@justvervaart.bsky.social are you still active here? If so, he has done cool work!

datajournalist.nl•130 days ago

Thx so much for the compliment Vincent. Not really active here but mostly on LinkedIn.

joshuajfriedman.com•141 days ago

There are so many sharp journalists to follow here, as well as academics who do journalistic writing on their areas of specialty. Are there any particular fields that you want to keep an eye on? e.g., criminal justice @radleybalko.bsky.social @johnpfaff.bsky.social

joshuajfriedman.com•141 days ago

Here's another investigate/data journalism follow for you @leonyin.org

Hi Simon, quick question. I added you to a couple of my starter packs, but I noticed you have two different accounts. Which one should I include?

simonwillison.net•106 days ago

Hard to say! I'm starting to use this one a bit now but I'm still much more active on Mastodon and the other one is an automatic feed from there

simonwillison.net•106 days ago

... I think this one. I feel like Bluesky has sticking power at this point

pelayoarbues.com•106 days ago

Thanks for answering Simon! I will let others know

‪Steve Herman‬ of VOA and Behind the White House Curtain fame. Mostly news, but sometimes journalism itself. ‪@w7voa.journa.host.ap.brid.gy

Best of the best: @propublica.bsky.social

kevinmarks.com•141 days ago

there are people like https://bsky.app/profile/data.ft.com here, also worth searching for [subject] starter pack to follow people in bulk
also, use https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-follower-bridge/behhbpbpmailcnfbjagknjngnfdojpko to find your twitter followings

anodynesix.bsky.social•141 days ago

@propublica.bsky.social does great investigative reporting, and several of its reporters and analysts are on here.

anodynesix.bsky.social•141 days ago

Thanks for the list! I was going to put together a ProPublica team starter pack based on this list. Would that be okay? (I know some people don't like being included in starter packs.)

propublica.org•141 days ago

We're planning to check in with the team and then make our own starter pack to save you the trouble. We appreciate the offer though, it's really kind of you!

anodynesix.bsky.social•141 days ago

Got it, thanks!

jodiwrk.bsky.social•141 days ago

Following all

charlescolee.bsky.social•141 days ago

Hit the little magnifying glass at the bottom; it'll take you to a list of suggested accounts, and you can tweak your search from there. I'd wager you'll find everyone you're interested in following already there.

anthonymoser.com•141 days ago

this is a fun thread of cool people https://bsky.app/profile/chezvoila.com/post/3l3igchyf5g2m

chezvoila.com•141 days ago

And even more cool dataviz people in this starter pack, including sone data journalists.

nickevershed.bsky.social•141 days ago

hi simon.

peter.andringa.me•141 days ago

I have two lists on similar themes -

Data journalism: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:25c5e3zwrqnshjmxhjljiddr/lists/3l66khjpipe24

Investigations: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:25c5e3zwrqnshjmxhjljiddr/lists/3l66jyvzq7i25

(Both are works-in-progress with some very good people I'm probably missing! Going to follow this thread for more.)
