Question 1

Compare the difference between administrative and critical research in studies of media.Provide an example of each.

Accepted Answer

Administrative research in media studies focuses on the day-to-day operations and management of media organizations. This type of research may include studies on budgeting, staffing, and organizational structure within media companies. An example of administrative research in media studies could be a study on the impact of digital technology on the workflow and efficiency of newsrooms in traditional print media.

On the other hand, critical research in media studies examines the societal and cultural implications of media content and its influence on public opinion. This type of research may include studies on media representation, power dynamics, and the effects of media on marginalized communities. An example of critical research in media studies could be a study on the portrayal of gender and race in popular television shows and its impact on audience perceptions.

In summary, administrative research focuses on the operational aspects of media organizations, while critical research delves into the broader societal and cultural implications of media content. Both types of research are important for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the media industry and its impact on society.
