Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study aims to explore first-level agenda setting at the state level. In particular, it examines the relationships among media coverage of local newspapers, state-level public opinion and state legislative policies, in order to better understand mass media�s role in state policymaking. In addition, it also tests the intervening impact of two state level factors: state legislative professionalism and state political culture on the agenda setting effects. This study includes a geographic scope of 18 U.S. states and a time period of 22 years from 1984 to 2006. The media agenda is largely represented by the news coverage of a state�s most popular newspaper (that has the highest circulation). The public agenda employs the state public�s response to the survey question of �What is the most important issue facing the state?� The policy agenda is defined by the number of bills that are introduced in the statehouse. This study found a moderate and positive relationship between the newspaper agenda and the public agenda in five U.S. states from 1984 to 1997, a strong positive relationship between the newspaper agenda and the policy agenda in 15 U.S. states from 1989 to 2006, and a weak positive relationship between the public agenda and the policy agenda in South Carolina in 1989 and 1990. At the state level, state political culture moderates the degree of agenda-setting effects between the newspaper coverage and the legislative policies. In particular, the agenda-setting effects in the states of moralistic political culture are significantly stronger than those in the states of individualistic political culture.
