Online media coverage of four issues from five news media were downloaded during the 1996 fall political campaign. The frequency of EBB discussions of each issue served as the surrogate for the public agenda. An ARIMA model cross-correlational test showed EBB discussions of three issues—immigration, health care, and taxes—correlated with news media coverage, with time lags varying from 1 day to 7 days. Only for abortion did the media have no appar-ent agenda-setting effect. Media coverage apparently can provide individuals with information they can use in their EBB specific-issue discussions. The Internet has drastically changed the ways in which some individuals receive news and information. It provides links to an endless list of news media. It allows individuals to receive messages electronically from other individuals via e-mail. And it provides open forums for discussion on a wide variety of topics through discussion lists, bulletin boards, and chat rooms. The present study examines one aspect of the Internet: electronic bulletin boards (EBBs). The focus of this study is to investigate whether traditional news media sources have an agenda-setting impact on the discussions taking place on the EBBs. The theory of agenda setting can be traced back to McCombs and Shaw (1972) who attempted to explain how and why people think about and rank different social issues. The researchers found a significant correlation between the amount of media coverage generated and the rankings of importance by media consumers. These findings led to the conclusion that issue salience is greatly influenced by the news media. 452},
