Research process seminar. Automated content analysis using machine learning. 3pm on 28th March on Zoom

BU research

Hi all,
After a short break, the research process seminar series is back, with a seminar almost every week between now and mid June. Unlike other seminar series’ that often showcase the findings and outcomes of research, we pay attention to the process of research: the methods, the challenges, the successes and failures and the reflections we collect along the way.
Today we are delighted to welcome an external speaker, Rainer Freudenthaler (Universität Mannheim), who is talking about automated content analysis using machine learning
This session will focus on measuring explicit and implicit bias and implicit racism in ethnic minority reporting. We use semi-supervised machine learning to distinguish explicit and implicit stigmatization of ethnic and religious groups in German journalistic coverage (n = 697,913 articles). The talk will engage with how we validate the method, what the strengths and weaknesses of the method are, etc.
It promises to be a really interesting session.
It is at 3pm, Tuesday 28th march on Zoom

Today’s research process seminar: Quantitative content analysis. Tuesday 24th May at 2pm on Zoom.

Uncategorized

You are warmly welcomed to this week’s research process seminar. Hosted in FMC but open to all.

This week we have an external speaker, Dr Sarah Van Leuven, who will speak about quantitative content analysis.

Sarah Van Leuven is associate professor at the Department of Communication Studies at Ghent University. She is the head of the research group Center for Journalism Studies (CJS), head of the Journalism Division of NeFCA (Netherlands-Flanders Communication Association), and editorial board member of the SSCI-ranked journal Digital Journalism. Since 2021 she is a member of the Flemish Council for Journalism (Raad voor de Journalistiek).

She has published work on a broad range of topics, including the role of news media in political communication, sourcing practices, international news, journalist profiles and innovation in newsrooms. Together with prof. dr. Karin Raeymaeckers, she coordinates the five-annual survey of Belgian professional journalists, and she is also principal investigator for Belgium in the Journalistic Role Performance Project.

Details of her talk are below. This will be of use to anyone who is interested in methods of analysing media or other texts as part of a research study.

In this session, I will present a step-by-step toolbox to develop a reliable research design for a content analysis. Specifically, I will discuss how theoretical constructs can be translated into manifest content variables, and how research outcomes can be influenced by sampling decisions. The different steps will be illustrated by means of a content analysis study of “global journalism”.

2pm on 24th May.
