The Agenda Setting Journal
Agenda setting theory, the most
popular theory in mass communication,
has expanded to other areas beyond
communication including business, history,
inance, politics and sports. Dr. Maxwell McCombs
(University of Texas at Austin) and his research
partner, Dr. Donald Shaw (University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill), introduced the theory in 1972.
The original article has been cited in more than
6,000 studies. Originally, McCombs and Shaw’s
term “agenda setting” showed a correspondence
between the order of importance given in the media
to issues and the order of signiicance attached
to the same issues by the public and politicians.
While the essence of the deinition remains the
same, the idea has exploded into an internationally-
recognized, maturing and expanding theory.
A research tradition focused on the interface of the
mass media agenda and the public agenda has been
used by scholars/academics, industry professionals
and think tanks globally to explain political, economic,
historical, social, sociological, psychological,
sports-centric, health-related, medicinal, business-
oriented, technological and more concepts.
The Agenda Setting Journal: Theory, Practice, Critique
focuses on the theoretical developments that
continue in agenda setting and how the theory is
applied to areas outside of mass communication.
The journal also represents the growth and
maturity of the communication ield
as it is also the irst and only to-
date theory-based journal in the
communication discipline.
