Coverage Mix

132 classified coverage items · 111 measured articles · Jul 2025 – Oct 2026

What McKinsey 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 132 classified coverage items in this window.

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 54% results-stage (by claim stage) and overwhelmingly neutral in tone; its biggest storyline is Benchmark · McKinsey.
Corporate coverage — the stage ladder reflects how far this company's announced moves had progressed, not a verdict on the company.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

309 articles mention McKinsey across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 111 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.
