Content Analysis in the Newsroom

In this free webinar, you’ll hear from Reframe editor Aubrey Nagle about her research into local news coverage of protests following George Floyd’s murder in 2020, and Erik Slavin, of Stars and Stripes, about his research on coverage of the Afghan War. Both will speak to how content analysis and the lessons learned about framing, thematic coverage, and context can be applied in any newsroom.
