خلاصه	Automated content analysis is the computational measurement of text features at a scale impossible by hand, using natural-language processing and machine learning to classify, scale, or discover the content of large corpora. Synthesized for the social sciences by Grimmer and Stewart's 2013 'Text as Data,' it spans supervised classification, unsupervised discovery, and scaling, all unified by the principle that automated methods augment but do not replace careful human judgment and validation.	Manifest content analysis is a quantitative research technique that systematically counts the explicit, surface-level features of communication messages — words, sources, themes, images, or actors that are directly visible in the text or media artifact — according to a predefined coding scheme. Rooted in Bernard Berelson's classic definition of content analysis as the 'objective, systematic, and quantitative description of the manifest content of communication,' it is one of the foundational empirical methods of mass communication and media research.
