Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 7 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 254 interactions against 889K followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Posts are seen about 19K times each, and 1.34% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.14% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 29% carry an image or video and 57% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 15K interactions, about 60x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #gazeteciliksuçdeğildir, #canli, #gazetecilereözgürlük. Only 7 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 10:00 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.

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 | 29% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 57% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 29% 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.
- 57% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 419 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.

Tele1’e el konulmasının yıldönümünde, basın meslek örgütlerimizin öncülüğünde protesto ve dayanışma eylemleri düzenleyeceğini öğrenmek beni mutlu etti. Çünkü Tele1’e yönelik saldırıya zamanında ve yeterince etkili ve yaygın bir tepki gösterilseydi Halk TV’ye bu kadar kolay el konulmazdı. Toplum ve bağımsız medyayı susturmaya yönelik büyük karartma ve baskı dalgası Tele1 saldırısıyla başladı. Bu nedenle birinci yılında bir dayanışma ve demokratik protesto eylemleri düzenlenmesi umut vericidir. Sevgili meslektaşlarıma ve dostlarımıza hem teşekkür ediyor hem de kutluyorum. Silivri’de kalbim onlarla atacak Ayrıca, zamanında ve sürekli destek veren, dayanışma gösteren dostlarımız ve meslek örgütlerini siyasetçi ve aydınları, dahası değerli yurttaşlarımızı hiç unutmayacağım elbette.

Tele1 el konulmasından sonra “merkez medya” kavramı yeniden dolaşımıma sokuldu. Halk TV’de el konulunca bu tanımlama tam bir saçmalılılığa dönüştü. “Merkez medya” kavramı saygın ya da prestijli bir ifade değildir. Geçmiş geçmişte “merkez medya” dediğimiz gazete ve TV’ler, bugünkü tablonun sorumluları içindedir. O kurumlarda iyi ve nitelikli gazetecilerin bulunması ile kendilerini karıştırmamak lazım. Hiçbir zaman tarafsız olmadılar. İktidara ve servete ulaşmanın ya da etkilemenin aracı oldular. Gazeteci tarafsız olmaz. Doğrudan ve gerçekten yanadır. Gazeteci objektif olur, haberinde gerçeği eğip bükmez, bilgiyi karartmaz. Onun felsefi ve siyasal bir seçimi vardır. Bu doğaldır. Zalim ile mazlum arasında, demokrasi ile diktatörlük karşısında tarafsız olunmaz. Günümüz Türkiyesi’nde “merkez medya” ifadesi, geri çekilmek, hatta teslimiyettir. Ayıptır. Arz ederim.

Fikret Bulut: "Merdan Yanardağ gibi bir adamı casuslukla suçladılar. Hangi ülkeye casusluk yaptığını bile söylemediler. Gözaltındaki ilk günde kanalına çöküldü. 24 saat geçmeden hangi kanun ve hukuka dayanarak kanalına el koydunuz?" https://t.co/Fu8APKF9ay
