Methodology

Last 90 days · cut-off 16 September 2026

1

Universe

Every article captured by the Clipping Hunter press archive in the 90-day window, published by outlets of the study's country. The outlet's country comes from the Clipping Hunter outlet master, not from the domain.

2

Brands

Each sector has a fixed set of brands per country (18 to 25), searched with exact phrases and homonym exclusions. An article with two brands counts for both; that is why “% of sector” can add up to more than 100.

3

Subject

A brand is the subject when it appears in the headline or the URL. Anything else is an incidental mention.

4

Stable panel

The weekly trend is computed only on outlets with articles in at least 11 of the 13 weeks, so an outlet entering or leaving the archive cannot fake a trend.

5

Content type

Rule-based classification on headline and URL: commercial, tutorial, opinion, interview, results, launch.

6

What we do not measure

No tone or sentiment. No central-versus-incidental distinction inside the body. No grouping by media group. Each study states it in its sheet.
