Coverage Mix
YouTubeproduct
3,579 cited events · 2,311 measured articles · Apr 2025 – Jul 2026

What YouTube coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.

Volume Coverage held steady
Make-up Mostly Launch · 49% by story type
Framing Promotional 8%, otherwise neutral
How to read this

The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames it — 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 63% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 8%, much of it on the YouTube timeline storyline.
