Abstract: This chapter discusses emerging methodological trends in media policy research. Setting out from several weaknesses of research to date, it identifies the use of digital methods and participatory approaches as two areas of ongoing renewal. Digital methods concern both digitized existing methods such as document analysis and digitally native methods such as scraping. The chapter highlights the value of new techniques to tackle issues such as fake news, data protection, further ownership concentration, etc.
