Consider a hypothetical quote:

Each day we gather information from manufacturers, distributors, Russian and foreign vendors, research centers. The reliability of the sources is ensured by our contacts with employees in those organizations.

Those is used to describe objects that are more distant, either physically or in the abstract sense. But could we say "these organizations" here, since they have been introduced in the first sentence and hence made somewhat "closer" to the reader? Or would that be a mistake?

    Both of these and those, as the plurals of this and that, can be used for referring back. See also http://ell.stackexchange.com/a/13993/3281. – Damkerng T. Jan 11 '14 at 07:26

    On a side note, you have used both American and British spelling in your question: "organization" is American and "organisation" is British. It is advisable to stick to the accepted set for your location (not necessarily important for this site, of course, but in other contexts it might matter). – nxx Jan 11 '14 at 13:37

Those is used to describe objects that are more distant, either physically or in the abstract sense.

This says it all! Here, distant does not refer to the placement of those words in the sentence. This answers your concern with first sentence mentioning. Others may answer various aspects.

    That's wassup, Mauilik! Now I've become curious regarding the use of "that says it all!" instead of "this says it all!". Demonstrative determiners are interesting. – CowperKettle Jan 11 '14 at 07:08

    I think I have many relatives in New York, Sydney, and Tokyo. They all have their own cars, might sound less awkward. – Damkerng T. Jan 11 '14 at 07:33
  • @DamkerngT. Not only in Egypt, there are pyramids in X, Y and Z countries as well. Those all are worth visiting. :) Ah, countries again! Well, I'm talking about the countries in continents! – Maulik V Jan 11 '14 at 07:40
