The Effects of Credibility, Reliance, and Exposure on Media Agenda-Setting: A Path Analysis Model.
Wanta, Wayne; Hu, Yu-Wei
Journalism Quarterly, v71 n1 p90-98 Spr 1994
Uses path analysis to investigate a model of agenda-setting. Supports the model, showing that, if individuals perceive the media to be highly credible, they will rely on the media for information, will increase their exposure to media messages and in turn will become more susceptible to agenda-setting.
