This article presents a mixed methodology approach that was developed to analyze news coverage of four Canadian disasters. Here, we present the technical aspects of a mixed methods group research project that enabled analysis of more than 3,014 journalistic articles. We explain how alternating between inductive and deductive epistemological stances led to the quantification of characteristics of journalistic treatment not originating from a prior theoretical framework, but rather rooted in the data under study. Although our approach does not escape the difficulties and challenges posed by mixed methods and group research, in this article we present a way out of the usual methodological segmentation in journalistic discourse analysis by simultaneously exploiting the strengths of two approaches often perceived to be opposing.

本文提供了一种混合方法论方法，该方法已被开发用于分析四个加拿大灾难的新闻报道。在这里，我们介绍了一个混合方法小组研究项目的技术方面，该项目能够分析超过3,014个新闻文章。我们解释了归纳和演绎认识论立场之间的交替如何导致对新闻工作者待遇特征的量化不是源自先前的理论框架，而是源于所研究的数据。尽管我们的方法无法避免混合方法和小组研究带来的困难和挑战，但在本文中，我们将通过同时利用经常被认为是相反的两种方法的优势，提出一种摆脱新闻语篇分析中通常的方法学细分的方法。
