Hi Fabrice, that roundup idea sounds great; we should definitely try that out if someone has time for writing these up. Of course we would still want to retweet suitable material directly, too.
On a related note, we've also been talking for a while about using RTs more often to quickly promote good findings from the daily media monitoring <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications_committee/Press_clippings> work that Michael and Joe are doing. Michael has already stepped up the game in that regard recently, converting some picks into custom tweets/FB messages some of which performed really well, but there is still room for more low-level coverage via RTs.
