Ideologieën in het nieuws: over het meten van ideologische kenmerken van nieuwsberichten
Abstract
Ideologies in the news. Measuring ideological characteristics of news reporting - In this article, attention is drawn to the possibilities of measuring ideological characteristics of news in a systematic and valid way. It is therefore necessary to develop a method of content-analysis that makes it possible to overcome the time-honoured deadlock between reliable but irrelevant versus relevant but unreliable methods of content-analysis (Galtung, 1970). We present in this article a method that corresponds to jurisdiction in some important respects: as in the case of judges, the task of coders does not simply consist in applying coding rules in a purely technical way. The coding of news articles, using general rules, is coupled with a further elaboration of the rules themselves. We also ana¬ lyse the reliability of the coding process. Finally, the usefulness of the research tool is demonstrated by presenting some results of a content-analysis of the news coverage of a much publicized industrial dispute in the Netherlands during the seventies.
