Media Coverage of AIDS, Cancer, and Sexually Transmitted Diseases: A Test of the Public Arenas Model.

Hertog, James K.; And Others

Journalism Quarterly, v71 n2 p291-304 Sum 1994

Explores the development and maintenance of topics on the public agenda. Tests whether, for a new issue to compete for attention, an old issue must be displaced. Finds little support for that assumption. Argues that the maintenance of topics is complex and the displacement effect is not as powerful as once assumed. (SR)
