On the other hand, we need to examine what characteristics and challenges social media analysis has in comparison with the analysis of public opinion through traditional public opinion surveys.

This article focuses on how the traditional (manual) approach to conducting a content analysis—a primary method in the study of media messages—is being reconfigured, assesses what is gained and lost ...

Data analysis: In presenting results from analyzing real data, you should always briefly describe the data to the reader. Explain what the network is (what is a vertex and when are two vertices ...
