New media and orientation towards qualitative research Reading in the bets of a sample of researchers in the Information and Communication in Algeria

Abstract

Today, the new media has revolutionized several levels, including conceptual and procedural (methods and tools of research). If the trend towards qualitative research in the field of social sciences and humanities in general, has been defended by the followers of the interpretative approach in research and has always been controversial between them and those with a material perspective. However, in our opinion, the trend towards qualitative research in the field of new media has become a necessity in many research areas. But what we often talk about is what these researches propose as issues that limit the interaction of researchers with qualitative research on the interpretation of the phenomenon of communication that we will try to find in this study through the opinions of some groups of researchers in this field.
