Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs appears in 524 analyzed articles across the measured technology press. Recent coverage is rising, counting every mention over recent months. This page shows the public snapshot: movement, coverage mix, recent sources, and what drove the latest change.
Compass measures press coverage, not Steve Jobs's product quality, business performance, or market value.
Counting every mention, coverage of Steve Jobs is rising — it appears in 524 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What Steve Jobs 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 195 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 194 of those whose framing could be read — vendor and primary-source items carry no framing.
These labels describe the story, not the person. Coverage counted under “Launch” is coverage of a launch that mentions Steve Jobs — the label says what the story was about, never something Steve Jobs did.
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
524 articles mention Steve Jobs across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 150 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.
