Coverage Mix

4,584 classified coverage items · 3,384 measured articles · Jul 2025 – Oct 2026

What ChatGPT 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 4,584 classified coverage items in this window.

Make-upMostly Launch · 48% by story type
Framing Critical 6%, 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 57% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but critical framing runs at 6%, much of it on the Launch · OpenAI storyline.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

7,881 articles mention ChatGPT across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 3,384 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.
