Question

If you were to study headlines of newspapers for the last 10 years to examine trends of issues being covered, which research method would you be using?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Content analysis is a research method used to identify patterns in recorded communication. To conduct content analysis, you systematically collect data from a set of texts, which can be written, oral, or visual:

Books, newspapers and magazines

Speeches and interviews

Web content and social media posts

Photographs and films

Content analysis can be both quantitative (focused on counting and measuring) and qualitative (focused on interpreting and understanding). In both types, you categorize or “code” words, themes, and concepts within the texts and then analyze the results.
