C议程设置的研究往往集中在媒体上公布的议程与公众议程之间的关系上。这项研究通常关注的是核实媒体议程设置效应的存在。较少的情况是，研究考察媒体议程是如何发展的。韦弗和埃利奥特将这一过程描述为议程建设，“其中的重点是媒体如何与社会上的其他机构互动，以制造公众关注的问题？”韦弗和埃利奥特通过将一个小镇市议会会议上讨论的话题与当地报纸上那些会议的新闻报道进行比较，来研究议程建设。研究议程构建的另一种方法是检查已发布的新闻故事似乎是从哪些渠道和来源演变而来的。这就是本研究的方法。目前的研究基于Brown、Bybee、Weardon和Murdock的一项研究，该研究考察了《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》和北卡罗来纳州四家报纸的新闻来源和新闻频道。3该研究在记者和官员中复制了西格尔的部分工作。增加了当地报纸^.^的维度，而Brown等人。都关心报纸，

Weaver and Elliott studied agenda building by comparing the topics discussed at a small town’s city council meetings with news reports of those meetings in the local paper. Another way to study agenda building is to examine the channels and sources from which published news stories seem to evolve. That was the approach of this study. The present research is based on a study by Brown, Bybee, Weardon and Murdock that examined news sources and news channels appearing in the New York Times, the Washington Post and four North Carolina newspapers.3 That study replicated part of Sigal’s work in Reporters and Officials. with the added dimension of local newspaper^.^ While Brown et al. were concerned with newspapers, the
