Compared with accounts its own size
Christiane Amanpour's engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 47% 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 18:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

One of the world's most brutal murderers is finally dead. At 84 years old the former Bosnian Serb general, Ratko Mladić lived way longer than he allowed his tens of thousands of victims. The more than 7000 Muslim men and boys he had slaughtered in Srebrenica will be his enduring shame. At least he was tried by an International Criminal Tribunal and found guilty of his enormous crimes of genocide. I am proud of the work we journalists did in the 90s to document his crimes against humanity, to finally hold him accountable.

As temperatures rise, “America is making a concerted effort to make the problem worse as fast as it possibly can,” argues environmentalist Bill McKibben. “We've shut down wind farms that are 90% finished off the Atlantic seaboard, put the federal land off-limits to solar panels, done every possible thing we could to buck up 18th century energy technology.”

“I was heartbroken that the government of my own country was calling me a national security threat,” co-founder of India’s Cockroach Janta Party @abhijeet_dipke says. “I am a patriot & I love my country, just not in the way this government expects me to. But I do love my country.”

I came face to face with Ratko Mladić in 1993 and today am reflecting on that time. We were brought up in the era of never again, and again was happening in Europe and the West. Democracies were doing nothing to stop what was happening in Bosnia. His death reminds me not just of the disaster that befell the West and Europe throughout the 90s, but reminds us also, this is happening again. Russia is trying to do the same thing in Europe. And it reminds me that we, the journalists, did our jobs. We kept this horror in everybody's sight in technicolor live television at the end of the 20th century, so that nobody could say we didn't know. I am proud of all the journalists who covered these crimes in real time and didn't let the West turn away, and built the ledger of evidence and accountability.

“This is not the America I fought for. We used to look out for people that needed help.” Gen. Russel Honore (Ret.), an expert in disaster zones with deep experience in Haiti, tells me Trump administration plans to deport hundreds of thousands of migrants back to Haiti is “cruel." https://t.co/t6v1oMySBO

Democratic NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill is a military veteran. I asked her about Secretary Hegseth’s plan for testosterone testing for troops. “He’s failing at that job tremendously in every single way… [and] made us less safe,” she argues. “At this point he needs to be impeached” https://t.co/WuIPPA26MJ

Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, “No thanks!” Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP ( TS: Aug 16 2026, 5:04 PM ET )

The win reverberating around the world... Ending one of the longest droughts in sports history and breaking an Irish curse. Just look at these jubilant scenes as Mayo celebrates winning the All Ireland Gaelic Football Championship after waiting 75 years. Sport... it really matters.

“Doctors are actually supposed to bear witness to crimes and are supposed to report them when they see them.” Dr @FerozeSidhwa tells me about his time working in Gaza, what he witnessed, and why he and colleagues are speaking out. “International journalists are barred and Palestinian journalists are often ignored. So we were the only ones left.” Their experiences are seen in the new documentary American Doctor.

- What is Christiane Amanpour's engagement rate on X?
- Christiane Amanpour (@amanpour) has an engagement rate of 0.019%, based on the median interactions across 29 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,005,723 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.019%, Christiane Amanpour sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 @amanpour have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @amanpour post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.17 posts per day across the measured window.
