Measured over 347 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 30, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 115 interactions against 2.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 347 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 33K times each, and 0.346% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.27% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 11.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 347 posts sampled, 97% carry an image or video and 95% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.1K interactions, about 58x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Al Jazeera Breaking News's engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 30% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 115 interactions against 2.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 347 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 33K times each, and 0.346% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.27% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 11.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 347 posts sampled, 97% carry an image or video and 95% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.1K interactions, about 58x its own typical post.
- What is Al Jazeera Breaking News's engagement rate on X?
- Al Jazeera Breaking News (@AJENews) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 347 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,617,997 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, Al Jazeera Breaking News sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @AJENews have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @AJENews post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 11.57 posts per day across the measured window.
