If you want to follow news of the protests in Hong Kong, I’ve made a Twitter list (currently 107 and growing) of journalists covering the story from Hong Kong.
Who am I missing? Email me at khare@poynter.org, or tweet at me @kristenhare, and I’ll add them to the list. There are a lot of hashtags, at this point, to search as well. They include: #hk, #HongKong, #OccupyCentral #OccupyHK, #UmbrellaMovement and #UmbrellaRevolution.
A few other great lists to check out, which helped me build this one, come from Andrew Peng and Joe Weisenthal. Peng, an editor and journalist with Reason Squared (and the owner of a pretty great Twitter handle) created this list: Hong Kong Protests, which gathers journalists and protesters. Weisenthal’s piece for Business Insider suggests more people to follow.
Here are a few tweets from journalists in Hong Kong:

My parents were in HK in 1960s when police beat back pro-CPC rioters. Now police face anti-CPC crowds. pic.twitter.com/S3imi1PEBC

And here’s the front page from The South China Morning Post, via Kisoko.net. Newseum has a great collection of front pages with news of the protests.
