  As COVID-19 quickly became one of the most concerned global crisis, the
demand for data in academic research is also increasing. Currently, there are
several open access Twitter datasets, but none of them is dedicated to the
institutional and news media Twitter data collection, to fill this blank, we
retrieved data from 69 institutional/news media Twitter accounts, 17 of them
were related to government and international organizations, 52 of them were
news media across North America, Europe and Asia. We believe our open access
data can provide researchers more availability to conduct social science
research.
