Description:


News media strongly influence how we picture public affairs across the world, playing a significant and sometimes controversial role in determining which topics are at the centre of public attention and actionSetting the Agenda, first published in 2004, has become the go-to textbook on this crucial topic.


In this timely third edition, Maxwell McCombs “ a pioneer of agenda-setting research “ and Sebastián Valenzuela “ a senior scholar of agenda setting in Latin America “ have expanded and updated the book for a new generation of students. In describing the media's influence on what we think about and how we think about it, Setting the Agenda also examines the sources of media agendas, the psychological explanation for their impact on the public agenda, and their consequences for attitudes, opinions and behaviours. New to this edition is a discussion of agenda setting in the widened media landscape, including a full chapter on network agenda setting and a lengthened presentation on agenda melding. The book also contains expanded material on social media and the role of agenda setting beyond the realm of public affairs, as well as a foreword from Donald L. Shaw and David H. Weaver, the co-founders of agenda-setting theory.
This exciting new edition is an invaluable source for students of media, communications and politics, as well as those interested in the role of news in shaping and directing public opinion.

Poor Quality
Size: 29, Color: Soundwave
This is my 4th pair of FP Barrels, and these felt poorly made. The holes for the button up fly were so small it was nearly impossible to button them. I’m going to see if I can stretch them out a bit. But better to buy from Free People directly!

Exactly as FP describes
Size: 27, Color: Deep End
Quality denim with the classic FP barrel or horseshoe leg. These are deep, dark blue rigid denim with a button fly. Hits at the ankle for me, but if you are shorter than 5'9" you may a get full length fit from these. I own these jeans in multiple colors and these are another FP win for me.
