Although there are no data on Telesur’s international viewership, we can use Twitter to get an idea of the
channel’s popularity.
Compared to its competition, Telesur is enormously aggressive on Twitter, at least in terms of tweets posted per month (see Table 2).
At the same time, however, Telesur is significantly underperforming in terms of Twitter followers: Its average increase in number of followers per month pale in comparison to that of CNN en Espanol.
