Second-Level Agenda Setting

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.
