Purpose of Study Discuss three assumptions that cannot be aplied to online and social

considered homogeneous entities.

We find that online media outlets strongly affect other media that
Findings publish last often. Yet, our news story analysis emphasizes the need
to look beyond publication schemes. “Slow” newspapers, for
example, often prekl’[cede other media’s coverage. Underlining the
necessity to distinguish between Twitter users, we find that media
actors on Twitter have vastly more agenda – setting influence than
other actors do.
