Theories and Research Methods in Communication

Select one copy each of any two Kuwaiti daily newspapers. Go through each newspaper, paying particular attention to its headlines. Create two coding forms (one for each newspaper) as follows:

Category Number of Occurrences Total
Political
Economic/business
Social/Entertainment
Sport
Other

On your coding sheet, place each headline under only one of the above categories.

Presentation style and deliverables:
• Provide a definition for content analysis from two scholarly sources other than your course textbooks and state why this is considered to be an effective model for data collection
• Provide an analysis of your results (or instance you could comment on the percentage of political headlines under each category or you could comment on the similarities/differences between headlines on your two chosen newspapers, etc…)
