>CNN comes out on top last month, growing its engagements by around 11 million interactions since February, a remarkable 30.1 percent increase
Technically this change benefited established media the most, and so Fox gained as well. >CNN isn’t the only mainstream news publisher to have benefited from an engagement increase in March. NBC and Fox News also consolidated their positions in second and third place, with increases of a few million interactions.
The smaller outlets punished tended to be conservative, however >Conservative politics site the Daily Wire, which has been racking up well in excess of 10 million monthly interactions for a while now and was fifth overall in February, saw a decline in its engagement of 1.5 million. In the general working of the biggest social publishers, such a decline isn’t all that unusual. But in March, it was enough to push the site into 11th position overall, as it was comprehensively taken over by news sites such as the Daily Mail, the Guardian, and the Washington Post… Similarly, Western Journalism, another conservative site which has many viral stories every month, dropped from 12th to 22nd position
