A story appearing is not evidence that anything changed. Coverage is reach, and reach is a process measure rather than an outcome.

In practice

A widely shared article about a practice change, on a unit where the practice did not change.

Where people slip

This is unit 10's measurement error arriving in a new setting: reporting activity as though it were result.
