 3.7 Research limitations
Researchers believe that the content analysis has many limitations. Content analysis of the results is descriptive, and it only can reveal "what is it?", but cannot explain "why is it". Finally, the content analysis' dimensions of the analysis are fixed, and it has no flexibility in dealing with many new things, new situations and unexpected events. In reality, in the same regional countries does not always use identical media system; we also cannot say that a state must be using a certain type of media system. Secondly, considering the limitations of the study time, budget and scope, the results can not completely http://www.ukassignment.org/uklunwen/  cover the whole study.
