It finally works! 
Here is a table of more than 1000 journalists on #Mastodon, that updates itself – showing the ones most active, most followed etc. I took the wonderful table by @tchambers as foundation, but deleted some media organizations, so that it only contains accounts from people.
I want to make another for media accounts (and maybe even more 
).
Have a look!

Well, let's see if it breaks this time 
I hope, that some will find this helpful. But to be honest, I am a bit embarrassed, at how I got this to work: I'm using the account @JournalistsOnMastodon: It follows (or better tries to follow) this accounts:
https://github.com/fingolas23/JournalistsOnMastodon/blob/main/accounts.csv
A modified version of this script (https://blog.tomaszdunia.pl/mastodon-api-followers-following-eng/) by @to3k then regularly creates a table, containing the details of all the accounts. #GoogleSheets grabs this and creates two versions of the table.
Please (!!) refrain from telling me how wrong it is to use #Google: I'm doing this with the tools I'm able to use and I'm doing this in my free time (of which there is not so much with two wonderful little boys).
If someone can do a better job, please be my guest! Build it, I will share it.
After showing my first attempts last year, I got so much flag for using Google but only one offer to help – thx for that btw.

About using Google and very common reactions how bad it is...
@mho I really like this post I'm replying to for it's politeness in asking people to refrain from telling Martin how wrong it is to use #google.
I am one of those people usually! And usually I'm asking from genuine position of fear or seeking #betterpractices, etc... and so I thought I'd write a compliment and some else for a change... on a practical note for anyone hating /seeking anything it's also good I see that "someone has said it already" and that way 'feel at ease' or that it's "done before"...
So I learned this kind of disclaimer or sign "google has been considered and critiqued before"... can help stop flow and be for developers etc the first signal to leave something like this post so it stops the flow but not the message (or even blocking people / filtering words etc).
Would be interesting to count how many contacted you... and actually 
COULD THOSE PEOPLE CONTACT ME PLEASE!!??
Because I think I can learn more in many ways (even from heaters hating something)...
Any other comments / experiences about that welcome.
Thanks
