Content analysis is a methodology in the social sciences for studying the content of communication. Earl Babbie defines it as "the study of recorded human communications, such as books, websites, painting and laws.” It is most commonly used by researchers in the social sciences to analyze recorded transcripts of interviews with participants.

Content analysis is also considered a scholarly methodology in the humanities by which texts are studied as to authorship, authenticity, of meaning. This latter subject includes philology, hermeneutics, and semiotics.

The term “development journalism” is used to refer to two different types of journalism. The first is a new school of journalism which began to appear in the 1960s. The idea behind this type of development journalism is similar to investigative reporting, but it focuses on conditions in developing nations and ways to improve them. The other type of development journalism involves heavy influence from the government of the nation involved. While this type of development journalism can be a powerful tool for local education and empowerment, it can also be a means of suppressing information and restricting journalists.
