See what the coverage is made of.
Coverage Mix breaks press attention into story type, claim stage, and framing over time. Use it to see whether a topic is driven by launches, results, deals, regulation, or speculation.
It measures the coverage record, not whether the technology is good or true.
- Story type — what kind of story the press is running.
- Stage — how far the reported work has progressed, as the press describes it.
- Tone / framing — how the press presents the coverage.
What Google Play Store 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 923 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 913 of those whose framing could be read — vendor and primary-source items carry no framing.
How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames it — 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.
