Media and Communication Research Methods by Arthur A Berger
A practical and approachable student introduction to research methods in both human communication and mass communication.
“This textbook provides a valuable introduction in most areasBerger does an excellent job introducing the basic theories/methods. The chapters where he has taken difficult theories and made them accessible to the students are excellent…” -- Mark S. May
“What is delightful about the text is its unpretentious, jovial approach to challenging theoretical and methodological topics. It is a great introduction for students who are completely unfamiliar with media and cultural studies and it serves as a pleasant ‘refresher’ for those students who have some background in the subject.” -- Felix C. Seyfarth
“[I liked the book’s] readability for undergraduates, the idea that it attempts to be comprehensive, [and] that it specifically addresses communication research, as opposed to social science research methods.” -- Laurel N. Hellerstein
