Intro to Mass Media Research

This course provides students with an introduction to the basic research issues and processes needed to utilize both quantitative and qualitative methodologies appropriate for mass communications students who are taking their first research course in research methods. It creates an environment designed to train students how "to do scholarship" and how to make reasoned cases and offer well-informed research conclusions, as they relate to critical issues and "clashing views" in mass media and society.
