- Summary:
-
Noting that media agenda-setting research has seldom examined how the initial media agenda develops, a study examined the connection between news sources and agenda setting by means of a content analysis of sources and channels appearing in network television news and local television news. The findings were compared to similar studies of newspapers. Results indicated that television relied more heavily on routine news sources than did the newspapers in earlier studies. A similar amount of reliance on officials as sources was found as well as a small percentage of women identified as news sources. The findings suggest that sources may play a large part in agenda setting and therefore affect the public's images of reality. (Tables of statistics and 28 footnotes are appended.) (SRT)
