collect and analyze documentary materials about print community newspapers in British Colombia

In this assignment you will collect and analyze documentary materials about print community newspapers in British Colombia. In order to complete this assignment, you will need to access the NVIVO software.

You can find out where to access NVIVO by visiting this page: https://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches­depts/rc/research/software/nvivo In addition to working with NVivo, you will also need to produce a written assignment that answers the questions listed throughout these instructions.
