I am looking for some advice on the following. I am setting up a twitter account to be a sort of news account - I want to auto retweet other accounts - for example sports clubs post news and my account will auto retweet the clubs to give people the latest news in one place. Is this possible, if so how do I go about it or what service do I have to use?
I'm not sure if such service exist but I know a helpful technique. If you have a huge amount of followers you can ask for a retweet in your every post, it is effective along with an appropriate hashtag.
I use a site called ZootRock https://www.zootrock.com/ . You pick the things your interested in, which in your case it'll be 'news', and then zootrock will generate lots of web articles on that subject. Zootrock will then post them onto twitter for you in an autopilot mode. You can turn off the autopilot mode if you like too. It's really great, and it'll help you get twitter followers too. Feel free to check it out. Hopefully this will help you get some great content for your new twitter account.
