Afriend of yours was interested in determining whether the news media picked up on campus events. your friend decided to do a content analysis of the local paper. your friend counted each story that mentioned his university’s name. at the end of two months, 136 events had been counted. your friend asked for your comments on his research. you told your frienda. he did manifest coding and it is okay that he didn't record the base. b. he did latent coding and it is okay that he didn't record the base. c. he did a combination of latent and manifest coding. d. he did manifest coding and he should have recorded the base. e. he did latent coding and he should have recorded the base.

d). he did manifest coding and he should have recorded the base.

Explanation:

              Coding is the task of giving any numerical values to a bunch of data to make the analysis more easier to understand and comprehend.

              Manifest coding is a tangible data coding where data or information are reliable and are easy for testing.

              So when my friend did an analysis of the local paper about whether the news media picked up on campus events or not, he got a count of 136 events at the end of two months. He did a manifest coding but he did not record the base of his counting or research.

Thus the answer is ---

d). he did manifest coding and he should have recorded the base.
