   Thanks for compiling this list! It would be great if you could create a Twitter list that we can follow via your @BizTechDay Twitter account.

   Hi ~

   While I’m flattered to be included on your list, I think there’s been some confusion.

   I’m not the founder of Women in Media & News – I’m a professor at Hunter College in NYC, and also sometimes a media critic. I run a blog called “Racism Review.”

   You my have me confused with Jennifer Pozner, who is the founder/director of Women in Media & News. She’s @jennpozner on Twitter and I recommend that you all follow her!

   Cheers,

   Your second-to-last entry is the wrong person. Jessie is a lovely person and certainly worth following, but the person you describe — “Media critic, founder/director of Women In Media & News” — is Jennifer Pozner (https://twitter.com/jennpozner). Follow her now!

   Thank you for including Women In Media & News in this “to follow” list. However, Jessie Daniels (@JessieNYC) is not WIMN’s founder and director: I am. My name is Jennifer L. Pozner. I am a media critic and author, and I founded WIMN in late 2001. My Twitter feed is: @jennnpozner. Please correct above. Thanks!
