Klaus Krippendorff, Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology Edition,Third Edition Since the publication of the first edition of Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology, the textual fabric in which contemporary society functions has undergone a radical transformation: specifically, the ongoing information revolution. Today, content analysis has become an efficient alternative to public opinion research—a method of tracking markets, political leanings, and emerging ideas, a way to settle legal disputes, and an approach to explore individual human minds. The Third Edition continues to be an ideal sourcebook of the history and core principles of content analysis as well as an essential resource for present and future studies. Organized into three parts, the book examines the conceptual and methodological aspects of content analysis and also traces several paths through content analysis protocols. Krippendorff integrates information on computer-aided text analysis and presents a practical guide that incorporates experiences in teaching and in how to advise academic and commercial researchers.
