Doha News engagement report
@dohanews - 620K followers on X
Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 8 interactions against 620K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 12% 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 4.3K times each, and 0.199% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.689% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 63% carry an image or video and 5% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 288 interactions, about 36x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #qatar, #doha, #syria.

Compared with accounts its own size
Doha News's engagement rate beats 12% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 16% 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.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.001%, Doha News sits below the 10th percentile of the 37,214 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 18:00 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.

#Qatar has strongly condemned an #Israeli drone strike on a civilian vehicle in the village of #BeitJin, in the #Damascus countryside, which injured civilians. The @MofaQatar_EN said on Saturday the #attack was an unacceptable act of aggression and a violation of #Syria’s sovereignty, security and safety. The ministry said #Israel’s continued violations of regional states’ sovereignty amount to a dangerous approach, an unacceptable escalation, and contempt for international law. It called on the international community to act to stop such violations and ensure accountability, warning that the absence of accountability encourages their continuation and threatens security and stability in the region. The ministry reaffirmed Qatar’s support for Syria’s sovereignty and territorial unity, expressed solidarity with its government, and wished those injured a speedy recovery.

- What is Doha News's engagement rate on X?
- Doha News (@dohanews) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 619,797 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, Doha 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 @dohanews have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 12% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter 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 @dohanews post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
