Rezensionen
PRAISE FOR THE SECOND EDITION

"Written in clear, jargon-free language, this remarkable and engaging textbook is extraordinarily valuable for beginners and experienced qualitative researchers. Brennen deftly makes complex concepts accessible and understandable, giving students the skills and the courage to undertake challenging research studies."

Margaret Duffy, Professor of Strategic Communication, Missouri School of Journalism, and Executive Director of the Novak Leadership Institute, USA

"Brennen covers the breadth of qualitative research in media studies thoroughly and accessibly, drawing on numerous examples to knit together the conceptual concerns of method with the practical experiences of research in action. This is a valuable text for both students new to research to learn the craft of qualitative research and for prompting even the most experienced researchers with helpful conceptual and practical reminders towards its best practices."

Jason Pridmore, Associate Professor of Media and Communication and Vice Dean of Education for the School of History, Culture and Communication, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands
