The 26-27 October 2011: The night of the tweeting journalists
Published on by Ronny PatzLet’s say this summit to save Greece and the Eurozone will have ended kind of late, late in the night. But those who were following these “events” won’t forget those brave women and men tweeting live from the European Council and Eurozone Summit of 26 & 27 October 2011.
Those heroes, those eurojournos, tweeting while others were already (or still) in their dreams, were (in random order; hope I didn’t miss anyone – if yes, please indicate in the comments):

- @quatremer
- @STRANEUROPA

- @BrunoBrussels (who left before the end… Update: here is why
And here is why this wasn’t that bad… ) - @IanWishart

At 3.30 in the morning of 27 October, tweets of most of these journalists were coming in announcing that a deal had been found. But that’s their story to tell, not mine.
@faisalislam, @edconwaysky
PS: Would suggest to have an alphabtical list
@heirbar @martinvisser
@yollivier
@matjaztrost @jg_gallego
Thanks Dana for the updates, I missed some of them because they were not using the #EUCO hashtag (or not much). I’ve included them in the list.
And alphabetical lists are unfair, they always favour those who have the luck to have a good name (or chosen a good one on Twitter)…
@hbeaudouin
I see
Was just easier for me to identify the ones who are already on your list 
But I’ll use CTRL+F
Another summit slogger
@RTENewsPaulC
@vanessamock
I thought nobody had notest it….
Great list! Thanks Ronny for the useful info (and Dana for the updates!)
