How to read the "Views per follower" column: 100% means an average post earns as many views as the page has followers. It's a good proxy for an account's ability to reach beyond its own community.

3. What Stands Out#

In only its second ranking, HugoDécrypte gains eight spots (13th) by doubling its views (+112%) and posts the best ratio in the table: 127.6% of its community in views per post, from 103 posts.

The regional press takes up a lot of room in the upper half of the national ranking. La Dépêche du Midi (11th) and SudOuest.fr (14th) both set their series record, the latter by multiplying its views nearly fourfold (+285%, fourteen spots gained). Var-Matin posts the table's strongest rise, +526% and nineteen spots (19th).

Record months too for M6 Info (7th, 79.6 million) and CNEWS (9th), at an unprecedented cadence of 1,543 posts. L'Équipe gains four spots (8th, +80%), La Voix du Nord more than doubles its views (34th, +134%) and actu.fr returns to the TOP 40, in 32nd place.

4. Methodology#

The data comes from Nonli's social listening, which continuously tracks the public Facebook pages of French news media. Only one page per media brand is counted: its main page, without aggregating local or topical pages. The ranking covers views on videos and Reels published between July 1 and 31, 2026, read through the Nonli API. Since views keep accruing after publication, small differences with later readings are normal. Follower counts are those observed when the ranking was generated.

In the same series, previous month: June 2026 ranking.

This ranking is published every month on this blog and on Nonli's LinkedIn page. To track these metrics for your own accounts and your market, get in touch.
