Dear Colleagues, Can anyone advise on the best approach which i can use to analyse qualitative data accumulated for over 6 months from TV news .
You can plot this qualitative data as: bar chart; histogram; frequency polygon, or summarize it into table.
see this file for more details: http://www.egyankosh.ac.in/bitstream/123456789/25736/1/Unit12.pdf
Factors to consider in choosing an analysis method include what your data actually is (e.g. does it include audio-visual material, transcriptions of the news items or a summary description of each news item), what you are trying to find out, how much data you have, how much time you have to analyse the data.
The book below each contain good descriptions or worked examples of qualitative data analysis.
