• events
• insurances
• newspapers
• personalities
• political-parties
• politicians (--> https://parl.ch/tweets)
• radios
• sports-teams

Format:

{
	"accounts": [
		{
			"screen_name": "jackycasas_",
			"name": "Jacky Casas",
			"langs": ["EN", "FR"]
		},
		{
			...
		}
	]
}

The following fields can be added to the structure:

• "city": if the account is linked to only one city (eg. "Lausanne", "Bern", "Thun", "Lugano")
• "region": if the account is specific to a region or canton (eg. "Romandie", "Bern", "Valais")

Ideas for new lists:

• cities
• institutions
• events (music festivals, expos)
