Abstract:

This essay outlines how a 10-term search protocol for use in comprehensively identifying articles with coverage of protest events in Spanish-language news media sources was developed for the Mexico Protest Event Database (MPED) project. Three dimensions of this process are discussed: The sources used and why these were chosen; methodological concerns and how an iterative procedure was used to determine whether to include or omit specific terms; and assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of terms comprising the final search string using data on search hits and word counts for more than 18,500 articles that were produced and coded in the first stage of the development of the MPED.
