本文扩展了议程构建研究的范围，该研究传统上关注的是新闻稿、新闻发布会和政治广告影响媒体报道的能力。在2012年竞选期间，对美国报纸政治记者和编辑的深入采访发现，记者利用政治领导人的推文的方式表明，他们正在进行一级和二级议程建设。参与者举例说明了政治推文如何影响他们的报道，包括他们报道的事件、他们采访的来源、他们使用的引用，以及他们决定如何报道一个问题所依赖的背景信息。此外，对新闻报道贡献最大的政治推文往往有几个共同点。
This article expands the scope of agenda-building research, which has traditionally focused on the ability of press releases, press conferences, and political ads to influence media coverage. In-depth interviews with political reporters and editors at US newspapers during the 2012 campaign found that tweets from political leaders are used by journalists in ways that suggest first- and second-level agenda building. Participants gave examples of how political tweets have shaped their coverage in terms of the events they cover, the sources they interview, the quotes they use, and the background information they rely on to decide how to cover an issue. In addition, political tweets that contribute the most to coverage tend to have several elements in common.
