Σύνοψη	Digital Content Analysis is a systematic research method for describing, categorising, and interpreting the content of digital materials — social media posts, websites, online forums, blogs, emails, and video transcripts. It applies the rigorous coding logic of classical content analysis to digitally native or digitally collected text, enabling researchers to move from raw online data to structured, interpretable findings about communication, meaning, and social phenomena.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
