Coverage Mix

3,302 classified coverage items · 2,134 measured articles · Jun 2025 – Sep 2026

What Windows 11 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 3,302 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 3,300 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.

Coverage is 55% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but critical framing runs at 6%, much of it on the Launch · Microsoft storyline.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

4,362 articles mention Windows 11 across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 2,134 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.
