I'm pretty sure that the word "quietly" suddenly appears a LOT more in news headlines than it used to, but I don't know how to prove it. Google Trends only looks at search terms (nobody is googling "quietly") and N-Gram does books up to 2022. I want trends in newspaper headlines 2021-2026

Oh this definitely rings true. Maybe Nexis? Or this tool? www.english-corpora.org/now/

Thanks! The corpora tool looks like it can do it! Now I just need to figure out how it works... The site is very "nineties academia" user unfriendly.
