Hello!  

Here's what's trending this week in newsletters...enjoy!

This week around 7000 issues came in…
The newly emerging terms are, unfortunately, dominated once again by words related to a mass shooting-- the one on the 4th of July this time. The terms which increased most in usage from the previous week have much more variety. 

(Click on any of the terms to learn more about them and read newsletter issues they're in)

 

Newly Emerging Terms

  • Highland... as in the location of the 4th of July parade mass shooting: Highland Park
  • gunman... the person who did the shooting at the parade
  • Crimo... as in the alleged gunman: Robert Crimo III
  • suburb... related to all of the mentions of Highland Park as a suburb of Chicago 

  • rooftop... as in where the gunman shot from

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.
