South Africa shootings leave 27 killed • FRANCE 24 English
Most reports on FRANCE 24 English arrive quietly, find a modest audience on their first day and make room for the next bulletin. "South Africa shootings leave 27 killed • FRANCE 24 English" broke that pattern. Posted on Sunday, it opened at roughly thirteen times the pace a new upload on the channel usually manages.
The title is plain and the story is grim, and the response underneath it has been quiet. Likes and comments are few compared with the views. This is a video people are watching much more than they are talking about.
FRANCE 24 is France's international news channel, and its English service is one of several languages it broadcasts in. On its own, this single report is running at about an eighth of the pace of the entire English channel, which already keeps steady company among news broadcasters such as Channel 4 News and Middle East Eye.
