Agendasetting is usually referred to as a function of mass media and not a theory (McCombs and Shaw, 1972).
McCombs and Shaw suggested that a mass mediated agenda affects the public through a "simple" increase in reporting on an issue and at the same time the public interest increases due to salience and ubiquity of that issue to the public at large.
Early mass media research about the setting of a mediated agenda focused on where the agenda was coming from and how it was formed.
The common assumption of agenda- setting is that the ability of the media to influence the visibility of events in the public mind has been apart of our culture for almost half a century.
Therefore agendasetting is used for many purposes to establish the media agenda and to retrieve the opinion of the public.
Also agendasetting is very important in the political aspect because the public agenda influences the policy agenda which means that candidates will try to focus on issues that the public wants to hear about.
