Methodological problems with studies on relationships between media, public and political agendas

Ewa Nowak

Abstract


The paper presents the most important methodological findings and proposals devoted to the relationship between media, public and policy agendas, prepared on the basis of the agenda-setting theory. The first part investigates the methodology of media-public agendas interrelationship research. In the analysis of the second part, concerning the media-policy agendas correlations, the hitherto established research models are taken into account as well as original conceptualization and operationalization of the research problem are proposed.
