Theoretical and Methodological Problems of New Media Research Analytical review

Abstract

Since the emergence of new media, research in this field has posed many challenges for
researchers and academics, starting with the difficulty of characterizing them and
identifying their nature, the lack of consensus on the definition of a large number of
concepts, a difficulty in formulating themes in this field and that of their theoretical and
methodological treatment. This study aims to reveal the methodological and theoretical
problems, most often encountered by researchers on new media; the objective is therefore to analyze the causes and to reflect on ways to reduce these methodological problems in
the study of new media.
