dc.description.abstractThe agenda-setting role of the news media is one of the most documented theories of media effects, with over 500 separate studies conducted around the world demonstrating the influence of journalism on public opinion. At its core, agenda setting predicts that the elements that are relevant in the media agenda, such as issues, public figures and descriptions of these issues and figures, will become relevant elements in the public agenda. Over the five decades since Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw (1972) introduced the concept of agenda setting, the theory has expanded to cover six different areas, including: basic agenda-setting effects, contingent conditions for those effects, attribute agenda setting, origins of the media agenda, consequences of the agenda-setting process for people’s attitudes and behavior, and network agenda setting. The different components of the theory are discussed throughout the chapter, paying particular attention to research methods and new digital platforms, such as social media.
