The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times and The Huffington Post have done the most so far with List development. If we’re truly in an era of open-source journalism, I say reporters share their access (sort of) to sources via Twitter lists. It will be interesting to see how things evolve over time.
