About Newsfirst English
Newsfirst English is the English-language YouTube channel of Sri Lankan news broadcaster Newsfirst. It publishes short news reports, usually one to four minutes long, covering Sri Lankan politics, society, business and sport. The channel has about 22,400 subscribers and posts around 50 videos a month, though median views per video are currently low at 8.
The audience is most likely English-reading Sri Lankans and members of the diaspora who want news in English. These demographic figures are estimates, not platform-reported data. The channel does not show any current brand partnerships in its last 50 videos.
Rate estimate: $150 to $250 per video. That works out to roughly $20 to $35 CPM, compared with the typical $10 to $30 CPM for paid ads. Brands with a regional focus or public-interest messages may find it useful, but political coverage makes it unsuitable for most commercial placements.
