The Wall Street Journal reported an analysis of the news it published in 2010 reveals an array of words and terms that starred in this year’s coverage – many of which rarely appeared in 2009, if at all.
The Journal “Words of the Year” highlights include:
Editors scoured a list of every word that appeared in The Journal since Jan. 1, 2010, using technology from Factiva, a research product owned by Dow Jones & Co. The list was stripped of common terms such as “the” and ordered by frequency, noting how many times each word appeared in the newspaper.
Editors then narrowed the list to 30, favoring words that symbolized news or cultural developments of note in 2010. Factiva then calculated article counts for 2010 and 2009. The winning words were identified when the calculations revealed a leap in usage from year to year.
