Abstract

This article reflects on the methodology of content analysis, in its limits and its implications as a method of understanding the relationship between journalism and event. Widespread in journalism studies, content analysis is seen here in its assumptions and impossibilities, as detailed in a small case study on the covers of newsmagazines.
