New York Daily News engagement report
@NYDailyNews - 1.1M followers on X
Measured over 236 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 236 original posts, its engagement rate beats 5% of 3,848 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 4.1K times each, and 0.073% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.384% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 236 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 330 interactions, about 110x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
New York Daily News's engagement rate beats 5% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 5% 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 14:00 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 3 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 236 original posts, its engagement rate beats 5% of 3,848 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 4.1K times each, and 0.073% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.384% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 236 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 330 interactions, about 110x its own typical post.
- What is New York Daily News's engagement rate on X?
- New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 236 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,068,303 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At under 0.001%, New York Daily News sits below the 10th percentile of the 37,214 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 @NYDailyNews have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 5% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size 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 @NYDailyNews post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 8.03 posts per day across the measured window.
