According to Journalistics, the New York Times (@nytimes) outranks all other US newspapers on Twitter. The NYT has 2, 697,550 followers on Twitter.
At number two, reports mediabistro.com, is the Chicago Tribune with 845,000 followers for both Twitter accounts (@chicagotribune, @ColonelTribune).
The Wall Street Journal (@wsj) comes in third with 464,591 followers.
Journalistics is quick to surmise that the New York Times' strong lead could be due to the fact that the newspaper joined Twitter back in March of 2007 as one of the Top 25.
