요즘들어 부쩍 많이 드는 생각.
연구라는 거, 어찌보면 정해진 매뉴얼을 착실히 따라가면 되는 단순한 작업 같기도 하다가,
또 어떻게 생각해보면 너무나 많은 변인을 내재하고 있어서, 그 변인들을 항상 자각하고 있어야하는
복잡한 작업같기도. 지금 읽고 있는 리포트 중에 (미디어) 연구자가 가져야할 태도에 대해
생각해보게하는 단락이 있어 옮겨본다.

My aim in this section has been to issue a kind of ‘health warning’ about media
research, and indeed about reviews of research. Good research of any kind
seeks to observe well-established standards of validity and reliability; it follows
clearly defined methodological principles and procedures; and it bases its
findings on a systematic and balanced evaluation of the data. Yet research does
not take place in a vacuum: the issues that researchers address, the questions
they ask, the methods they use, and the ways in which they present their
conclusions to different audiences, all depend very much on broader social,
political and economic imperatives. This is the case with all research, but it is
perhaps particularly the case with media research, which throughout its history
has consistently been invested with much more general anxieties and
preoccupations. Simply summing up what ‘research has shown’ is thus a far from
straightforward enterprise.
