The Palgrave Handbook of Methods for Media Policy Research covers the craft that is and the methods used in media and communication policy research. It discusses the steps involved in conducting research, from deciding on a topic, to writing a report and everything in between and, furthermore, deals with a wide variety of qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis. The handbook invites researchers to rediscover trusted methods such as document analysis, elite interviews and comparisons, as well as to familiarize themselves with newer methods like experiments, big data and network analysis.
For each method, the handbook provides a practical step-by-step guide and case studies that help readers in using that method in their own research. The methods discussed are useful for all areas of media and communication policy research, for research concerning the governance of both mass media and online platforms, and for policy issues around the globe. Assuch, the handbook is an invaluable guide to every researcher in this field.

Rezensionen
"This elegant and impressive compilation of essays on media policy research, edited by three Belgian scholars and one Swiss, arrives at a timely moment. ... the essays provide a unique reference book for those working in the field. ... It is a welcome contribution indeed, especially during this period of transformation, when so many established norms seem to be in question, and when the moment calls out desperately for new methods of policy-making and policy research." (Monroe E. Price and Stefaan G. Verhulst, Journal of Digital Media & Policy, Vol. 12 (3), 2021)
