METATHEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES


Find an example of communication research in a peer-reviewed academic journal(10-20 pages). Along with searching in library databases, you can also find out about relevant communication research by reading the popular press like newspapers and magazines. In your paper, explain the research and what kind of meta-theoretical perspective it takes (post-positivist, interpretive, critical). Defend your view of the study’s perspective based on its approach to knowledge and values, its methodology, or any other relevant information. Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the study?s theoretical perspective in approaching its topic. Finally, compare those strengths and weaknesses to that of the other two meta-theoretical perspectives when applied to the same broad research topic.
