Editor's Note: Each week, we rank the top 10 most influential journalists on Twitter. This is not a list of the most active journalists or the most followed ones. This is a list of the most influential ones.
Our weekly rankings take into account each journalist's total number of followers and total number of tweets. Most importantly, these rankings are influenced by the average number of times per day that a journalist's tweets are then re-tweeted by other Twitter users.
