Zhrnutie	Cross-sectional quantitative content analysis is an observational research design in which a systematically drawn sample of communicative content — news articles, social media posts, advertisements, or other symbolic material — is collected at a single point in time and coded using pre-defined numerical categories to describe or test hypotheses about patterns, frequencies, or associations within that content.	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.
