Method evidence record

Panel-based quantitative content analysis

Panel-based quantitative content analysis applies systematic, numeric coding of media or textual content to the same fixed panel of sources at multiple time points. By holding the source panel constant while measurements repeat over time, researchers can track genuine change in content patterns rather than confounding source variation with temporal change. It is widely used in communication, media studies, and political science to monitor how coverage, framing, or topic salience evolves.
