Occupy.
Yes, thanks to the Global Occupy protests, the occupation of Iraq and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, "occupy" is the most used word in media over the last year both online and in print.
Global Language Monitor, a media analysis company, published a list of the top ten words, phrases and names used across the English language media over the past year today.
While "occupy" may have been the top individual word, "Arab Spring" was the top individual phrase with "Steve Jobs" being the top name mentioned in the past 12 months.
Last year's top word was "Spillcam".
