摘要	A focus group is a moderated discussion among a small group of participants, used in media research to explore how audiences interpret, talk about, and respond to media content. Its distinctive value lies in the group interaction itself: participants build on, challenge, and refine one another's views, surfacing shared meanings and contested interpretations that individual interviews or surveys would not reveal.	Narrative analysis examines how media tell stories — how events are selected, ordered, and given meaning through plot, character, and perspective. Drawing on narrative theory and the methodological syntheses of scholars like Catherine Riessman, it treats storytelling as a fundamental way humans organize experience and persuade, and it interprets the structure, content, and performance of media narratives.
