Effective communication is an essential part of our daily lives, whether we are communicating with our friends, colleagues, or even strangers. It is a process that enables us to exchange information, ideas, and thoughts with others. In the context of mass communication, the significance of effective communication increases manifold. Mass communication has become an integral part of our lives, and it is impossible to imagine a world without it. From newspapers to social media, television to radio, mass communication has become an essential tool for disseminating information and shaping public opinion.
However, effective communication is not as simple as it seems. There are several factors that influence the effectiveness of communication, such as the sender's credibility, the message's clarity, the medium used, the receiver's interpretation, and the context in which the message is conveyed. Communication research aims to study these factors and identify the best practices for effective communication.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the basics of research methods in mass communication, for which Dr. Haseeb ur Rahman deserves special commendation, indeed. It is designed to provide an overview of the fundamental concepts and theories that underpin communication research, as well as the various methodologies and tools used in conducting research. The book covers a wide range of topics, including scientific enquiry, steps in research, definitions of key terms, types of research, research approaches, inductive and deductive research, conceptualization and operationalization of variables, issues related to reliability and validity, scales of measurement, different types of statistics involved in testing hypothesis like ANOVA, F-Test, factorial analysis, sampling techniques, qualitative research methods, and proposal writing.
One of the primary goals of the book is to help readers develop a critical and analytical approach to communication research.
