2 problems

Hi Guys !!

I have 2 problems, hope you can help me out.

1. Joslyn's seminal work on spot content, although limited by a small convenience sample(...) - in this context "small convenience sample" means, that there were only few people taken under consideration in the research ? am I right ?

2.Another interesting comparison is in the number of spots with content focused primarily on the political party in each country. In no country was the party the focus of even half of the spots.(...) - does "In no country was the party the focus of even half of the spots" sentence makes sense ? because I don't get it

Thanks in advance Emotion: smile
