There are correlations between digital humanities and health communication. Between the published article and an existing research study, digital humanities’ influence on research is undeniable.
Through years of research and attempts, they figured out that taking printed newspapers and trying to analyze them with computational methods was unsuccessful.
“What we found is that digitized historical sources such as the newspapers in the Chronicling
America collection present significant limitations to computationally based research and data
mining cannot substitute for close or “manual” readings of discrete texts.”
The value of maintaining the newspapers as they are rather than giving leeway with digital analytics is crucial to digital humanities as well. Keeping integrity of the resources is important, especially in that sort of media transfer.
Using digital technologies to analyze other digital media is a method more suited to modern health communication.
