“…The agenda is generally described by what issues are covered in the media, or by what issues are discussed in debate. An early example can be found in the classical article by McCombs & Shaw (1972), who study the effect of the mass media agenda, or the agenda-setting effects of the mass media, during the 1968 presidential campaign (Weaver 2007). In our analyses, we considered the agenda as an indicator of issue salience.…”

In this paper we study the effects of a radical right party entering a national parliament, on the parliament discourse. We follow the classification developed by Meguid (2008) and use a probabilistic topic model approach to analyze the 300,000 speeches delivered in the Swedish parliament between 1994 and 2017. Our results indicate that immigration became a more prevalent topic in party leader debates when the Sweden Democrats entered the parliament in 2010. The other parties started to address immigration more, but still not to the extent that the Sweden Democrats did. In 2015, as Sweden faced a migration crisis, immigration became a more salient issue in the parliamentary debates. This could be seen as an external shock that forced the mainstream parties to put more emphasis on the topic of immigration. We conclude that the mainstream parties used a partly dismissive, partly adversarial strategy in their speeches when the SD entered the parliament. The migration crises in 2015 made them focus more on immigration and they thereby adopted a more adversarial strategy.

“…The relationship between media and public opinion is a longstanding and wellstudied phenomenon (McCombs and Shaw 1972;McCombs 2013). Although the direction of causality is disputed, there is no doubt that mass media is a key agent for the formation of public opinion (Corner 2007: 212).…”

Since Hugo Chávez Frias assumed the Venezuelan presidency in 1999, Venezuela has strengthened ties with most of its Latin American neighbors, particularly those where sympathetic leftist administrations also managed to assume power, including Argentina. With our analysis we show: 1) that Argentine media, divided between pro-and anti-government positions, presents a polarized view of chavismo; and 2) that Argentine public opinion regarding Chávez is not necessarily divided on the basis of ideological affiliations (left-right), but rather by the rejection or support of the former Argentine government. With these findings, we argue that in such a polarized information environment, chavismo is a polarizing issue and a tool that can be exploited in the domestic realm.Key words: chavismo, Venezuela, Argentina, media, public opinion RESUMEN Desde la asunción de Hugo Chávez Frias a la presidencia en 1999, Venezuela estrechó vín-culos con la mayoría de los países latinoamericanos, particularmente con aquellos donde también arribaron al poder administraciones con orientaciones de izquierda, incluyendo

“…Research has indicated that individuals' patterns of media use have influenced the perceived salience of social issues (Iyengar & Kinder, 1987;McCombs & Shaw, 1972), causal attributions (Iyengar, 1991), decisionmaking outcomes (McLeod, Sotirovic, Voakes, Guo, & Huang, 1998;Sotirovic, 2001), learning (Ferejohn & Kuklinski, 1990), and political participation (McLeod & McDonald, 1985). Sotirovic and Mcleod (2001) states that communication patterns play in political participation.…”
