Tim Cook
Tim Cook appears in 1,520 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.

Counting every mention, coverage of Tim Cook is rising — it appears in 1,520 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What Tim Cook 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 971 classified coverage items in this window.
These labels describe the story, not the person. Coverage counted under “Launch” is coverage of a launch that mentions Tim Cook — the label says what the story was about, never something Tim Cook 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
1,520 articles mention Tim Cook across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 772 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.
