요약	Longitudinal quantitative content analysis systematically codes and counts features of texts, images, or media messages gathered at two or more points in time, enabling researchers to track how content changes, how themes rise or fall in prevalence, and how media or institutional messaging responds to external events. The design merges the structured measurement logic of quantitative content analysis with the temporal tracking power of longitudinal observation.	Quantitative content analysis is a systematic, replicable method for converting the manifest content of text, images, or other recorded communication into numerical data. By applying a pre-specified codebook to a defined corpus and counting or scaling the resulting categories, researchers obtain frequency distributions, proportions, and relationships that can be subjected to standard statistical tests. It is the dominant method for large-scale, objective analysis of media, documents, social media posts, policy texts, and similar materials.
