The research scenario Topic: A content analysis study to investigate how
your newspaper (insert the name of your selected newspaper) covers
political stories in South Africa. As a researcher, the Institute of Political
Affairs has appointed you to study the coverage of political stories by your
favourite newspaper. Therefore, you are required to select a newspaper of
your choice to investigate how this newspaper covers political stories in
South Africa. You may analyse five chronological issues of your selected
newspaper i.e. Monday – Friday or a specific month/s in the case of a
weekly newspaper. Therefore, it is important to select a newspaper that is
likely to feature political stories. We recommend the regional or national
newspapers because these newspapers have reach coverage of political
issues. Attach the cover page of your selected newspaper as an
addendum. As a student, you need to use your discretion about whether a
specific story is a political story or not. In this study, for instance, you could
investigate the main political themes that your newspaper is likely to cover.
How much space do political stories occupy in the selected newspaper in
relation to other themes? You could also investigate where in the
newspaper are these political stories placed (cover page, inside the
newspaper or back page). What are the leading political stories during the
period of analysis? How many political stories are covered daily and the
total number of stories during the period of analysis? You may also
investigate the angle in which the stories are covered (positively, negatively
or neutral). Which voices were featured the most within the stories (indicate
whether such voices are those of politicians, ordinary citizens or political
parties)? You may also investigate how the newspaper uses images to
convey the message. Therefore, the study is both quantitative and
qualitative as you will be required to analyse written text and to count the
occurrence of something within the newspaper. As a UNISA student, you
have access to some of the leading newspapers in South Africa via the
library database called Press Reader. Go to library databases and select
Press Reader. If you are prompted to login, use myLife username and
