Of the 126 topics this group pushed in its own releases, 16 also surfaced in earned coverage—and it pushed 15 of those before that coverage. Co-occurrence isn’t proof the group caused the coverage; the match is a conservative exact-topic one over the last 12 months.

01 Agenda

owned + earned · last 12 months

What this group pushes, and where. Each topic is fused across its own press releases (owned) and its people’s appearances across radio, press & commentary (earned) — a topic carried in both is a frame taken from their words into the wider coverage. Framing is in their own words where available.
