Counter-terror arrests leave The Mirror's usual first day far behind
On its own, the Sunday report is moving at close to half the pace of the newspaper's entire channel.
The MirrorStory of Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 59,250 views a day, 10 times a normal first day on this channel (5,906).
Men arrested at gunpoint as counter-terror police probe ‘bomb plot’ police say in LATEST STATEMENT
The Mirror posted a report built on a police statement on Sunday, and its title tells the whole story up front: "Men arrested at gunpoint as counter-terror police probe ‘bomb plot’ police say in LATEST STATEMENT." The capital letters belong to the last two words, a signal that this is the official account rather than speculation.
A new video on the British tabloid's channel usually opens with a few thousand views on its first day. This one ran at about ten times that. For a single clip, that means it is drawing views at nearly half the rate the whole channel keeps across everything it has posted.
The response underneath is unusual too. The report has collected roughly twice as many comments as likes, so on this video people have been more inclined to write something than to press a button.
