The 26-27 October 2011: The night of the tweeting journalists

Let’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):

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.
