Peabody Search builds Google searches scoped to a single US state's press — its newspapers, public radio stations, and TV stations — across whatever years you pick. Choose a state, check off the outlets you want, set a year range, and it hands back a set of site:-restricted Google search links, sliced by time period, so you can see how coverage of something changed year to year.
Google caps how many sites a single search can restrict to (around 25). Check off more than that and Peabody splits them into batches automatically — you'll get a few extra links instead of a wall. TV stations can also be narrowed to a single Nielsen market instead of the whole state, since a station serving your city may be licensed just across the state line.
Enter the terms you'd search for. You'll layer a state, a set of outlets, and a time span onto this next.
