Read Chapter 13, paying close attention to the section on Agenda Setting and Framing in the news media. Then watch the following videos: 1.)  This video describes agenda setting, framing, priming and other examples of media effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvgURfZMGoQ 2.)  These videos show examples of agenda setting at work in broadcast news.  Part 1:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9SOQYHDN5M Part 2:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIvDOO9NmVU (In Part 2, notice the makeup of the team deciding what is important to viewers)

Now, CITING EXAMPLES FROM THE BROADCAST NEWS VIDEOS, write a discussion post of AT LEAST 300 words, that discusses how agenda setting and framing can affect viewers or readers of news reports. Your post should include at least one original example of a NEWS story and how the public's perception of events were influenced by either agenda setting or framing by the media. Provide at least one link, but preferably several, that shows an example of the agenda setting or priming that related to your news topic.
