100 Twitter accounts every journalism student should follow

Another cohort of journalism students are lining up their notebooks and pens (or are they iPhone 5s and MacBook Airs?) to begin training.

With the help with the followers of our @journalismnews Twitter account, we have compiled a list of 100 people every journalism student should follow. You can also subscribe to the 'key list for j-students' on Twitter.

The list below is in alphabetical order of Twitter handle and includes journalism lecturers, news sites, inspirational reporters and more. We have no doubt missed some really good follows. Do let us know of any other suggestions by tweeting us at @journalismnews or leaving a comment below.
