Assignment #4

Agenda-Setting:

Agenda-Setting I think is pretty much taking over. I feel like magazines, news papers, or any

form of media choose what they think is news; and it controls kinda what the viewers think is

news because thats all they are seeing or reading.

I think that some shows and magazines just focus on dramatic events. For instants, The Today

Show mainly focuses celebrity drama and affairs, but they still do add world affairs, but not as

much as i would like it too. CNN really grasps world wide news. They cover good stories, and how

people are making a difference in the world. Local shows cover local news. They don't focus on

how many affairs Tiger Woods has had.

I think that maybe some stations need to focus a little more on what's really important

rather than Britney Spears. If they did that maybe people would start to care more about the

world instead of how they are going to do there hair the next day. Come on focus on the important

stuff!
