Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a delimma and thought to get some advice from here. I will write the post in dot point form to make it easier to explain.
I'm doing a paper on Media analysis paper of newspapers coverage during USA presidential campaign.
I have 4 main groups (issues) that I seek to investigate where the data will fit.
Each article could talk about more than 1 of these issues (1 article can be placed under multiple groups)
I have analyzed 200 individual articles. However due the he point above the totals of all groups add up to 250.
so therefore, I would say "40% of articles talked about issue 1, 30% issue 2 , 40% issue 3..., 15% issue 4"
However, In the table provided when the percentage of each group (issue) would obviously total greater than 100% (total 125%)
Is that fine? given that context would it be deemed ok to have percentage greater than 100?
