The difficulties to implement a scientific methodology in the analysis of investigative journalism articles
Abstract
This article denies the possibility of finding a scientific methodology for the analysis of research texts published in the media. In reaching this conclusion we have analyzed existing methodologies for the study of these texts as well as some examples where it is recorded the difficulties of finding a scientific methodology that allows us to clearly state that we have a research text. How can we tell whether or not we have a text under investigation when the media tend to present as what investigations are only conducted by a source leaks interested?
