You can play with the data in the active chart below to see the number of fans and total engagement.
The top post for ABC Brisbane was a follow up story about a widower who was looking a fishing buddy, and found lots of them. It is a good example of how to use facebook to follow up stories you have covered on air. See the three strongest and weakest stories below.

So..... where's the twitter data
hint social_media!=just_facebook
AS we explained in the first (Sydney) of this series of articles: Facebook is the gorilla in the room. Most Australians (15 million) have a facebook account. Other important social media platforms are Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter, with 5 million or fewer users (Social Media News Oct 2016), which is why we have looked primarily at facebook. Most stations also repost photos from Instagram and Tumblr on their facebook pages, and cross post with Twitter. - Ed
