Question

Please Help!(: Write a paragraph naming three possible agendas and one example of each that you might find in the media.

Answer 1

There are three times of agenda-settings: 1. Public agenda setting, in which the public's agenda is the dependent variable. 2. Media agenda setting, in which the media's agenda is treated as the variable. And 3. Policy agenda setting, in which the elite policy makers' agendas are treated as the dependent variable.

You can use practically any issue in the news today to find examples of each.

1. Public agenda settings are generally generated using social media. The most recent uproar in social media in the body-positivity issues.

2. Media agenda settings are generally found in biased news reports. Anything relating to the innocence of Hillary Clinton or the racism of Trump is a media controlled agenda.

3. Policy maker agenda comes from the government. Most recently, the argument for gun policies by our current President who uses tragedies such as Orlando to push a gun policy agenda.
