SummaryMedia priming is the process by which news attention to some issues, and not others, changes the standards people use to evaluate leaders, policies, or events. Demonstrated experimentally by Iyengar and Kinder in News That Matters, the priming experiment manipulates which issues the news emphasizes and tests whether those issues subsequently weigh more heavily in audiences' judgments — the natural extension of agenda setting from importance to evaluation.Second-level (attribute) agenda setting extends classic agenda-setting theory from the salience of objects — which issues or people the public thinks about — to the salience of their attributes — which characteristics the public associates with them. The method codes the attributes media emphasize when covering an object and correlates that attribute agenda with the attributes salient in public perceptions.
