Sammanfattning	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.	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.
