I'm trying to gather a sample of 25 articles that span over 25 weeks from a newspaper. That means that I'm going at the rate of 1 article per week. What is the best way to sample my articles? Do I select a day of the week (ex: Mondays) and make exceptions in the presence of outstanding events (e.g. an important event in the week that was published on another day)?
Presumably, your goal in using such a sampling technique is to create a degree of uniformity. Since labelling something as an "outstanding" article is a subjective judgement, that would seem to go against such a goal.
Hi Tayseer El Zeiny, why not use convenience or purposive sampling which gives you the chance to select relevant articles that will be most suitable for your research project? Although I don't know whose CDA approach you want to use, CDA is compatible with most qualitative approaches to data collection. You can also be more open to other possibilities. Assuming in a particular week there isn't any "relevant" article but in another week, there are two or more important articles that could serve your research project better, how will you manage that? All the best.
