About this title

Synopsis

Evolving Journalism Research Methods offers the first comprehensive survey of research methods and their applications in Journalism Studies.

Divided into five sections, this volume begins by contextualizing key theories and industry debates, from newsroom automation to ethics in research. It addresses sampling and sourcing techniques as well as the broad distinctions between qualitative and quantitative methods, including their relative strengths and weaknesses. Finally, authors consider and problematize techniques for analyzing and reporting data. Throughout the book, case studies illuminate the close relationship between theory and methodology in the research process, bringing into question issues such as source credibility, news framing, and the roles of gender, big data, and Artificial Intelligence.

Featuring diverse contributions from scholars at the cutting-edge of research in this area, this book is key reading for anyone researching journalism or studying industry issues at an advanced level.
