Investigating Religion in the British and Turkish Press

As this research significantly draws on its empirical part, Chap. 4 discusses why the author employs a combination of framing analysis and content analysis supplemented by a notable qualitative dimension to investigate religion overall, Christianity, and Islam in the British and Turkish press. It then presents the list of all the frames in the four meta-frames of the democratic approach: spiritual, world life, political, and conflict. It also considers the comparative research design and provides profiles of Britain and Turkey as a further context for the analysis and discussion of the findings. It finally explains all about sampling and coding: the newspaper selection, sampling techniques, timeframe, search query, sample size, and coding strategy.
