Compared with accounts its own size
Christiane Amanpour's engagement rate beats 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 54% 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 Friday 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.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 87% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 11% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 87% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 11% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 286 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

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.

My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values. https://t.co/5EttAmWOCC

Just sat down for an exclusive interview with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva @LulaOficial. We spoke about tariffs, President Trump, multilateralism, Venezuela, and Brazil's imminent elections. It was a candid conversation, airs at 2pET on @cnni and tonight on @PBS https://t.co/01Fc3na4r6

Gloria Steinem will go down in history as one of the most important activists of all time, leading a movement for the equality of half the world: its women. She lived a long and passionate life dedicated to this vital and basic cause. She did it with intellectual precision, emotional awareness, humour and beauty. May she rest in peace and may the cause thrive.

I thought I was reading about North Korea or Iran, but no, this is Hegseth’s Pentagon. A publicly live streamed firing squad? After the Christa Pike debacle? Revolting for the world’s leading democracy, no matter the crime. https://t.co/dJDsgnFKRH

Having covered Mladic's monstrous crimes in real time, I had dared to hope Serbia would not do this. I had hoped that today's young Serbs' dreams of joining Europe, being in the democracy and human rights club, might add an element of common sense, morality and restraint. But must we now conclude this IS who Serbia wants to be? A nation aligned with, and honouring, a convicted war criminal, a mass murderer, guilty of the most heinous crime under the sun: genocide. How could the system, including the church, allow this? https://t.co/N9pNk5EAZs

A Haaretz report alleges Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was warned by the UAE president about a possible Hamas attack prior to Oct 7, which Netanyahu has called “a complete lie.” Now former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert tells me, “I have a good reason to believe that this is absolutely accurate” – though won’t say what it is. “Maybe one day I’ll have to say it in court,” he adds.

It might be the most unlikely legacy of 9/11, but 25 years later, the musical “Come From Away” continues to enchant audiences with its story about how Canadians opened their homes to their American neighbors, and the world, in the wake of tragedy. https://t.co/LnsYTOtGdg

Brazil’s President Lula will be first to speak at UNGA tomorrow, and is making the case for multilateralism. He’s pushing back on unilateralism, which he says President Trump prefers: “This is very dangerous because there’s always the possibility… the strongest one [prevails]… The best way to keep the world in harmony is for us to strengthen multilateralism.”

- 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 47 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,008,811 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 10th percentile of the 212,146 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 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 17:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.57 posts per day across the measured window.
