Good day!
Normally we handpick newsletter issues by independent writers that provide new or unique perspectives... but our lead researcher/writer is on maternity leave so we are exploring newsletter content that isn't as time-intensive, like trending terms and some specifically-themed newsletters.
Thanks for sticking with us until our normal programming resumes! And sorry our regular weekly cadence has been a bit irregular lately.
(And If someone forwarded you this and you'd like to subscribe, you can do that here -- thanks!)
Here's what's trending this week in newsletters...enjoy!
This week over 7600 issues came in…
The top terms were pretty distributed in nature; no single event or person drove the majority of them.
(Click on any of the terms to learn more about them and read newsletter issues they're in)
Newly Emerging Terms
- Astroworld... related to the tragedy that happened at Travis Scott's performance
- daylight... mostly driven by daylight savings time references
- Poland... related to the migrant crisis at the border with Belarus
- subpoenas... as in the 10 more that House investigators issued related to Jan 6th
- antiviral... related covid-19 and the drug Pfizer just released clinical trial data about
- Greta... as in Greta Thunberg
- steele... as in the Steele Dossier
- Ocasio... mainly related to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the animated video depicting Rep. Paul Gosar killing her.
Biggest Increase in Usage from Previous Week
- Rodgers (>400%) as in Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and COVID
- Travis (~300%)... as in Travis Scott's Astroworld performance ending in tragedy
- veterans (>200%)... as in Veteran's day, Nov 11th.
- Polish (>150%)... related to the migrant crisis at the border
- Cheney (>100%)... mainly Rep. Liz Cheney
Most Used Terms
Note that these "Most Used" terms tend to be used very broadly, in lots of contexts... vs. the other "Emerging" and "Biggest Usage Increase" terms which are, as you can tell, quite narrow and likely more meaningful/interesting.
