Product Description

Book Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great methodological handbook, Aug 23 2011

This review is from: Qualitative Media Analysis (Paperback)

Altheide provides a great introduction to Qualitative Content Analysis. He provides step-by-step instructions that even beginners can follow to quickly start their own projects. He also provides examples to help the novice through the process. The only negative I would add is that the book is a little dated now. It doesn't take into account more modern ways of viewing media (such as on the internet) and still advises to use VHS tape to record.
