Researching media
I recently have been reading up on research for a few media projects I’m studying at college, one book I found particularly helpful is the book: Media Research Techniques by Arthur Asa Berger. He states that keeping a log of work is crucial, (a somewhat ironic topic as I’m blogging about it) and that a diary, a log and initial research are all very different things.
Some good tips I’ve found out are to number all your pages within a binding book allows you to not tear out or add the occasional page here and there as this may confuse yourself.
Another interesting tip (I use the term ‘interesting’ very loosely) is that when gathering information about historical times,places and figures; try not to think this is an exact record of the entire past, but a selection of data chosen to be recorded by a particular person.
