Qualitative Media Analysis by David L Altheide
In order to prepare a successful research project, a qualitative researcher often must consult various types of media documents. How to obtain, categorize and analyze different media documents is the subject of this book. The author looks at traditional primary documents such as newspapers and magazines, but also at more recent forms like television newscasts and cyberspace.
