This profile was written for the University of Washington Twitter Book. John A. Byrne, if you read this, please answer our Q&A!
John A. Byrne is one of the most open journalists I have found on Twitter. He allows people to peek into his virtual newsroom and takes their suggestions.
John A Byrne is the Editor-in-Chief of Business week and an outspoken fan of Twitter. In a video on the Business Week website, he talks about the people he follows as well as his own use of Twitter. This video is what brought me to his profile in the first place. The reason? John A Byrne is a Journalist who gives a real inside scoop – he shares with Twitter what will be BusinessWeek’s news of tomorrow!
John A Byrne opens the newsroom to the reader, but he forgot to water the plants!

I analyzed the profile of news anchor Rick Sanchez for the UW Twitter Book. As Social Media flagship for CNN, my expectations for his use of Twitter were high. While his personal and human voice makes for a pleasant feed, it keeps me wondering if CNN is still missing out on the conversation on Twitter.
CNN is one of the most influential providers of news online (as they claim on their Breaking News Twitter account).
While CNN has embraced a number of uncommon technologies, #cnnfail has damaged CNN’s public and especially online image. When the criticism hit CNN, Rick Sanchez proactively talked about CNN’s coverage of the #iranelection. Sanchez is thus the most noticeable non-robotic CNN News provider tweeting, although other individuals have larger followings (namely Larry King & Dr. Sanjay Gupta)
@ricksanchezcnn - Uniting person and network. Do both come through?

I go about several different ways to find people on Twitter. Here is a short list. Some of them are more and others less helpful. Hit and run!
