Where the month's attention went
Each topic's share of the month's measured coverage, largest first. Bars are scaled to the leader; direction is that topic's own pace against its recent months.

These 12 topics are 96.9% of the month's measured coverage. 28 further tracked topics share the rest.
Every topic here held near its usual pace this month — none met the bar for a rising or falling call, so no per-row direction is shown.
This month against the record
Articles Compass measured for this topic set, month by month. The record itself grows as sources are added — the strip reads attention and record together.
One story, or many?
Every bar splits one topic's month in two: the single biggest story the press ran about it, and everything else it was covered for. A long first block means one event carried the topic; a short one means the attention came from all over. Shares are of the topic's categorized story items — one article can carry more than one story, and some carry none, so a share here is not a share of the article count on the row.
Highest single-story shareMicrosoft 365 Copilot — 44% of its categorized story coverage (9 articles) came from a single story: Varonis uncovered SearchLeak, a three-flaw exploit that can turn Microsoft 365 Copilot into a one-click data theft tool (4 articles).
Spread across manyCopilot — 20 separate stories, none more than 15% of its categorized story coverage (39 articles). The largest: Italy is probing Microsoft 365 pricing after the Copilot AI rollout (6 articles).
What kind of month it was
The categorized coverage split three ways — the kind of story, how far along the press said the work was, and how it was framed.

The leading topics and the measured stories behind their numbers — summaries of what the press reported, each with the article count that backs it.
Covered together
A long-run structural read, not a June 2026 measurement: the strongest co-coverage links among this set's topics, measured across Compass's full record. The thicker the arc, the more shared articles. Only links with at least 3 shared articles are drawn — a set whose topics rarely share stories shows few here, or none.
