Agenda Setting: A Review of the Theory

Abstract

The concept and theory of agenda-setting and the way in which it operates are discussed. Agenda-setting proposes that what is emphasized by the mass media (through prominence and display) subsequently becomes what the public thinks important. Or, stated as a hypothesis, there is a positive, causal relationship between the media agenda (what the media emphasize) and the public agenda (what the public thinks important).
