Counting every mention, coverage of James Webb Space Telescope is steady — it appears in 496 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What James Webb Space Telescope 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 431 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 425 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 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.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
496 articles mention James Webb Space Telescope across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 307 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.
