Journalism Research Methods

1 Unit · Undergraduate

The class is designed to accomplish three inter-related goals: 1) to introduce the basic process, concepts, and techniques of journalism research; (2) to provide a framework for exploring questions about journalism and its effects; and (3) to gain hands-on experience in the process of conducting empirical investigations. While no prior experience in research or statistics is required, the class will involve computing and analyzing basic descriptive statistics and regression models.
