Arithmetic on the figures above. It isn't a forecast.

Comments a day: 7NEWS beside its 71 peers

  • 7NEWS: 9,156 a day
  • Median of its peers: 4,977
  • 90th percentile of its peers: 18,074
  • Middle half of its peers: 1,601 to 9,510
Each tick is one of its peers. The scale is logarithmic, so 100 to 1,000 takes the same width as 1,000 to 10,000.

How it posts

  • Photos and video

    76% of its posts; the median of its peers 83%

    48 more of its 742 posts a week as photos or video: 565 now, 613 at the median

  • Weekend day

    A weekend day: 64% of a weekday's posts; the median of its peers 78%

    33 more posts a weekend: 15 on Saturday and 18 on Sunday
  • At or above the median of its peers on posts a day and evening posts.

Posts a day and the weekend add posts; photos and video and the evening move posts it already publishes. Each rounds up. It isn't a forecast.

Comments

The comments that come with them

When a comment matches a rule you've switched on, Sence typically hides it within seconds and alerts whoever you choose. Replies are always sent by a person. Comments on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and your own site are read the moment they arrive. YouTube is checked every few minutes.

Create a rule and Sence offers to apply it to the last seven days of comments too, with a preview first.

A new rule offers to hide 23 matching comments from the last seven days.

Posting

Each story you tick in the RSS feed gets a poster from your template, and each channel's queue spreads the posts across its own slots, so posting more of your stories doesn't mean making more cards by hand. A story needs a photo unless the template uses a solid background.

Posts you publish through Sence go out to a comment section Sence is already watching.
