Samenvatting	Krippendorff's alpha is a chance-corrected coefficient that quantifies the reliability of coding decisions made by two or more observers, and is the standard reliability statistic in communication content analysis. Unlike percent agreement, it corrects for the agreement expected by chance; unlike Cohen's kappa, it generalizes seamlessly to any number of coders, any measurement level (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio), and data sets with missing values.	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.
