Agenda-Setting in Russian Media

Abstract

AGENDA-SETTING IN RUSSIAN MEDIA The purpose of this study is to test the agenda-setting theory, according to which the media has a significant impact on what people consider to be important events. We compare the results of the Levada Center surveys on the most memorable events of the month with the number of publications on these issues in the press. We focused on the period from January 2014 to December 2016. A total of 884 events were analyzed in the article. The results of the study confirm the impact of discussions in the media on people's attention to the problem. The results also show that the discussions in the media one week before the date of polling are more important than the issues covered over the entire month. People better remember those events which took place shortly before the polling, as well as the events the discussion of which intensified during this period. It is also important to note the role of regional publications in the sensitization of the public to various issues. The issues covered by the national newspapers and news agencies, but ignored by the regional press, are much worse remembered by the population. The results of the study are controlled for background of the discussion: the presence of important events in each relevant month, which monopolized the public attention, is taken into account.

Foreign policy fatigue? Russian mass media agenda setting strategies and public opinion on the 2018 pension reforms

“…This is an adaptation of a research method employed by Kazun in a previous study on agenda-setting in Russian media. 60 The index ranges from 0 (where all media events are given equal amount of attention) to 1 (where one media topic completely monopolizes the agenda) and is calculated by squaring the percentage of coverage each topic is given according to the number of transcripts, then adding the squared percentages together, such that more weight is given to those media topics with a greater amount of coverage.…”

Gündem Beli̇rleme Ve Çerçeveleme Teori̇leri̇ Bağlaminda Tass Ve Ukri̇nform Haber Ajanslarinin Rusya-Ukrayna Savaş Sunumlarinin İncelenmesi̇

“…Medyanın dikkat çektiği konular ve sorunlar, bir başka deyişle medya gündemi, halkın farkındalığını, politika gündemini ve politikayı etkileyebilmektedir (Berger, 2001, s. 94). Birçok çalışmada, haber medyasının bu etkilerini ortaya koyan ve gündem belirleme teorisi kapsamında yapılan ilk önemli çalışmanın McCombs ve Shaw'a (1972) ait olduğu belirtilmektedir (Du, 2012;Grzywinska & Borden, 2012;Kazun, 2017;McCombs vd., 2014). Araştırmalarda binlerce atıf almış gündem belirlemenin bu ilk örnek çalışmasında, haber medyasının siyasi gerçeklikler veya belirli konular hakkındaki bilgileri seçerek gösterdiği ifade edilmektedir.…”

Бьет — Значит Любит? Стратегии Депроблематизации Домашнего Насилия В Российских СМИ

“…Вопрос о том, как проблема домашнего насилия фреймируется в СМИ, -важная часть международной исследовательской повестки [Abraham, Tastsoglou, 2016] [Bullock, 2007;Wanta, Golan, Lee, 2004], которая впоследствии влия ет на общественное мнение [Kazun, 2020].
