Coverage Mix
MacBookproduct
457 classified coverage items · 350 measured articles · May 2025 – Aug 2026

What MacBook coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.

Story type and claim stage are shares of the 457 classified coverage items in this window.

VolumeClassified items eased over this window
Make-upMostly Launch · 48% by story type
Framing Promotional 10%, otherwise neutral
How to read this

The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.

Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.

Coverage is 42% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 10%, much of it on the Launch · Apple storyline.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

1,204 articles mention MacBook across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 350 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.
