The workshop walked interns through the nuances of media review, a relatively new field in the academic research world. The session began with an introduction on the importance of content analysis of mass media text as It is crucial to locate changes over time and examine patterns. The seminar went through the history of media review. From Harold Lasswell’s systematic introduction to mass media studies to modern-day feature film analysis. Moving forward, professor Kaifia further explained the basic approaches young researchers can apply while pursuing their media research papers. In addition to that, she elaborated on the fundamentals of mass media research projects which are objectivity, concept and categories and the generalizability of the content. Dr. Kafia walked the audience through every step of writing a media review, from forming questions to shortlisting and to finalising unit of analysis. The most important takeaway from the session was the process of preparing a manual coding schedule for the finalised units. The session concluded with live interaction between Dr. Kafia and the audience and substantially provided the audience with a much better and more functional understanding of research-based mass media text.
