I've made it on to a list of the top 100 journalists on Twitter, assembled by the PR company 10 Yetis. It appears to be based on submissions from PRs saying which journalists are the least painful to deal with and I'm at 45, which is lovely. As far as I can work out the only North West journalists on the nationwide list are Gordon Burns off of North West Tonight and some bloke called Simon Binns.
