similarities + differences between sociology and Jouralism

Similarities

  • Both sociologists + journalists carry out research in order to answer questions

Differences

  • Journalists -potentially biased + may side with a  political party over another.   As a result journalists  may use evidence in a biased way in their reports.     Sociologists  should be balanced in their use of evidence!
  • Journalist research less systematic compared to sociological research -as they have deadlines to meet.
  • sociological research-subject to peer review

Overall comparison

Sociological research non biased - Journalist research potentially biased
