Coverage Mix
Starlinktechnology
1,126 classified coverage items · 751 measured articles · May 2025 – Aug 2026

What Starlink 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 1,126 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 1,125 of those whose framing could be read — vendor and primary-source items carry no framing.

VolumeClassified items eased over this window
Make-upMostly Launch · 43% by story type
Framing Promotional 5%, 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 47% launch-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 5%, much of it on the Launch · SpaceX storyline.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

1,378 articles mention Starlink across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 751 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.
