Abstract

In this paper we examine the presence of agenda-setting effects by the
print media in Argentina from June 2003 to December 2008. Using previously
unavailable monthly data on newspapers mentions we test two
hypotheses about the relationship between the different agendas. We find
support for the hypothesis that there were media effects during our period
of analysis. More specifically, we find that the total number of newspaper
mentions of the President positively influenced public confidence in the
government. Finally, there is also evidence of a strong and stable relationship between the total number of economic news and leading economic
indicators.
