Once upon a quite a long time ago @billbennettnz pulled together this great list of New Zealand Media on Twitter. I’ve long since intended to pull together a Wellington-specific list for local businesses and other interested parties, and here – in no particular order - it is. Interested in how media use Twitter for sourcing or adding to stories? Have a read of @J9Bennetts‘ post on this very topic on Dompost.co.nz’s Inside Story blog.

:: This is a list in progress, so please post a comment if you fancy being added, notice someone’s missing or have any other form of update.

Positively Wellington Tourism @Wellington_NZ
Yep, I’m shamelessly starting with us. While we’re not going to win any Canon Media Awards, we’ve got cumulative e-news databases of well over 100,000. We also have almost 30,000 Facebook fans and over 8000 followers for our Wellington and Visa Wellington On a Plate social media accounts, all channels worth considering in any relevant Wellington media planning.
