Other than that, agenda-setting theory also described as the

idea that the news media, by their presentation of news helps decide the
issues the public thinks about and talks about (Severin & Tankard, 1988). The
reported news usually wont tell public what to trust, but it does tell public
what issues are worthy of attention and consideration. It clearly claims that
media content sets the agenda for public discussion. Dearing and Rogers
(1996) describe the process as " an ongoing competition among issue
protagonists to gain the attention of media professionals, the public and
policy elites". Lastly, another scholar claim that agenda setting theory
suggests a relationship between the relative emphasis given by the media to
different issues and the degree of salience these issues have for the general
public (Ader 1995). Public will usually be affected from the issue that been set
up by the media. Media will try to influence every issue of conversation in a
mass society with a foundation or conversation topic for their discussion.
