Session Type: Resources
Three undergraduate political science classes undertook an ambitious research project to capture local broadcast news, analyze content, parse it into election-coverage clips, and then enter and analyze all the data in a short period of time following the U.S. presidential election. This presentation will outline our uses of technology and will describe the project design and curricular objectives.
