Hi Danish ..textual analysis to understand the portrayal of the issues I am studying. I am stuck at the textual analysis part, because I am not sure what is the best way to do it. Am i only supposed to analyse the text and language used from my own point of view?........ "portrayal of issues" is your main concern. You can not do a valid study if you do not clearly provide research questions and questions within the questions. Namely, if you know clearly what you want, then you will have no problem in collecting data form any kind of source. My suggestion: ask yourself about what are the things that you want to know and specifically write them down before asking what kind of method of data collection and analysis you should use. Non one can help you correctly if you do not provide your research questions or hypotheses. I repeat: Do not think about how to do it before you clearly write down what to do. take care irfan

There are some projects in some countrys which focuse and monitor quality in health news, they all work with a similar set of criteria (10 and more). There ar so called Media-Doctor projects in Australia (where it all started), Canada, in US (HealtNewsReview.org), Japan, HongKong and Germany, where I work as senior editor. As far as we found unitil now (there are some very good pieces, some very bad pieces and a lot of mixed articles). Articles in local papers are worse than in national papers. You will find some research papers at PLOs Medicine and PLoS One with Gary Schwitzer (healthNewsReview) or Amanda Wilson (Media-Doctor Australia). All projects give help and tips to science and health journalists for proper reporting.

More than abilities in writing, perhaps the greatest training in Journalism could be on identifying public interest matters and investigating them. Anyone can write - and even, write well, concisely and clearly - narrating facts, but what could make the difference is, indeed, the techniques of investigating without confusing with spying.

It is notorious that broadcasting is one of the means where free speech and freedom of opinion are made effective, and also it is notorious that it produces positive and negative externalities. The question puts a dilemma, between free speech/freedom of opinion and necessity of stimulating production of positive externalities and inhibiting production of negative externalities.

Thanks, Leonard, for your comments, for it does bring the problem to the greatest strength of traditional media in determining agenda, even in social media, although there is a beginning of disruption of that, in the sense we do not discuss only, but still mainly, what comes from traditional media. We cannot say that traditional media is an expression of elitism, necessarily, but we can say it is a space subject to economic power conveniences - and it does not mean they are good or evil, it just means that whatever may be translated into profit (and profit comes from advertising) shall be brought by traditional media, as it's been noted by Bagdikian in his "The media monopoly" -. We can say that it is not easy to access an space into traditional media, and that's why some countries do regulate some conditions to make it possible. Here in Brazil, traditional media is explored into business rules, and free space, into limited periods, only political parties have to make their propaganda. All others must pay or be invited to speak in radio and television. In this way, social media can be considered a freer space. But one of the great questions, as Jana has put into her essay I have just mentioned into a book I'm writing now, is credibility of what is being said, to be able to come to the agenda.

Yours is a stratified random sample. You have excluded thematic based newspapers and advertisement-intensive papers, as you did not find them relevant to your research project. Because of such type of exclusion, some researchers may term your sample as convenience sampling. According to my personal opinion, you excluded them only because of their low relevance or non-relevance. You can conveniently term your sample as stratified random sample.

The question by Prof. Stephanie has a great relevance, for, even psicologically, it may seem that old media brings "trustier" news than "new" media. We do use to believe much more in what is on paper than in electronic means, which have, however, the real time caption of facts. And, in the other hand, it is possible manipulation through "old means" - in the field of cinematographic fiction, the phrase of the journal editor in John Ford's "The man who shot Liberty Valance" ("when the legend becomes fact, we publish the legend") illustrates something that really happened, even in the wild west - and true information through new means. As well as source of the news, old media still marks the limits of public discussion - the famous concept of "agenda setting" -.

I do not know how does Law in India regulate such a matter. Free speech, here in Brazil, is not understood as just "free press", for this one is linked to "free enterprise", and free speech belongs to everyone, not only to press. Of course, we've got an interdiction of censorship, but it does not open the way to offend people.

In Brazil, there's a great discussion because our Constitution forbids monopolization and oligopolization in media, but we've got a few firms that concentrate horizontally broadcasting, newspapers, magazines and even internet providers. These few firms are powerful mergers, and the great question is if in what measure we could identify crossed ownership as a danger for free expression or just as a legal business strategy to minimize costs and allow expanding activities of the firm.
