Media Research methodologies


Introduction To Critical Enquiry Research

In this presentation given last night (Monday), some of the points that were emphasised in the group discussion were:

  • The merits of triangulation i.e. verifying your analysis by having a diversity of sources of information e.g. primary source documents as well as interviews;
  • Having three comparative case studies if using a case study methodology;
  • Matching the scope of your research activity to the resources available to you as a PhD student;
  • The fact that most PhD student do more than is required to get their PhD, and how to think about research design in order to minimise the likelihood of this;
  • Thinking about both the significance of your project (the 'So what?' question), and the extent to which you have provided an innovative contribution to your research field.
