On the top of the screen, scroll to the "Summaries" dropdown menu. Here, you will see sections on Sports Gambling, Participation, College Market, and more.

Use Google Advanced Search to locate information on the open web about popular and trending media vehicles. Use the "all of these words" search bar to include all of your search terms in your search. For example, searching "popular podcasts" will include search results that include only the key words "popular" AND "podcasts." 

The "region" filter limits search results by the geographic location where the content was published. The "last update" filter limits search results by time when the web page was last updated. This filter is helpful when locating up-to-date information on trending topics. Limit to "past 24 hours" or "past week" to retrieve current information on media vehicles that are popular and trending with audiences.
