While Google Trends provides data about what people are searching for, it doesn’t paint a full picture of what is getting the most press and only measures terms on a relative scale of one to 100. Muck Rack Trends shows how many articles mention a term over a set period of time.

Article data comes from the news sources around the world that Muck Rack indexes. 

The Articles Over Time graph shows how many articles were written about a given term over time. A term can consist of any topics or keywords you’d like to evaluate. 

Hover over points on the graph to see the specific # of articles written in a given month. 

You can currently analyze up to 10 terms concurrently. 

Share of Voice provides a breakdown of the number of articles mentioning a given term out of the total number of articles written about all searched terms. 

Hover over the share of voice graph to see the %s each term represents out of all articles analyzed.

Top Authors and Top Media Outlets are calculated by the number of articles published by a person or publication. An author or media outlet that has published the most articles appears first in the Top Authors list.
