Who are the best #DCjournotweeps covering entertainment? (poll)
Update: The winner of this poll was Katy Adams, @katyadams.
Last week Washington area tweeps nominated these journalists as the best on Twitter covering local entertainment.
To vote on the best #DCjournotweeps covering local news and local politics, see the separate ballot on those questions. You can vote in the entertainment category at the end of this post.
Tomorrow we will post a ballot for area journalists who use Twitter well in coverage of sports. You can still nominate journalists for consideration in that category by tweeting with the #dcjournotweeps hashtag or by email or comments here.
We're also interested in your nominees for the best non-journalist source on Twitter for local news. And call out any notable Washington journalists who are AWOL on Twitter or who gave up after a lame start.
If you want to get right down to the voting, scroll to the ballot at the bottom of this post. But first, here are the contenders, with stats (as of this morning), scouting report and a recent tweet:
@abeaujon, Andrew Beaujon, TBD arts and entertainment editor. 4,480 tweets. 1,461 followers. Following 1,036. Klout score 53. Likes his caps-lock key. Dry humor. Often uses less than half his allowed 140 characters.
despite the patina of three decades, funky bass has not aged well in early '80s indie rock. #onemansopinion

@clintonyates, Clinton Yates, local news editor for Express. 8,239 tweets. 1,021 followers. Following 2001. Klout score 49. Entertainment is not all he covers, but it's enough a part of Express, his daily Lunchline and his Twitter stream that he fits here.
It's time you got your behind to Bedrock Billards for pub quiz, hosted by yours truly. http://twitpic.com/4d8a9s
