    The BNC has about 10-11 million words from newspapers, and is available
    as part of the VIEW site (http://view.byu.edu).

    This site also allows you to search just one part of the 100 million
    word corpus (i.e. just the newspapers), so this may be a useful feature
    for you. Finally, you can even zero in on just sub-registers of
    newspapers (broadsheet, tabloid, sports reporting, etc).

    Best,
