MassMedia: How is Doing Research Like Being a Detective? (W4-P2) [VID] Fa15

Research: "“Disciplined inquiry...studying something in a planned manner and reporting it so that others can replicate the process” (Frey et al.).

Also note that a researcher does research to test and build theories.

What roles do theory and evidence play in this comparison?
