Coverage Mix
Instagramproduct
1,646 cited events · 1,222 measured articles · Apr 2025 – Jul 2026

Make-up Mostly Launch · 41% by story type
Framing Critical 7%, otherwise neutral
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.

Coverage is 61% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but critical framing is rising, now 7%, much of it on the Instagram timeline storyline.
