Question

What do you mean by "setting the agenda"?

✓

Answer

The media decides the issues and stories to focus on. This is called "setting the agenda". The government through censorship prevents certain stories to be published. Media's relationship with business houses affects balanced reporting.
It is therefore, important that we do not rely too much on one sided factual reporting. We should ask questions like what is the information I am getting and what is not provided.
