Research on Train Derailment in Ohio by Comparative Analysis between CNN and Fox News

Abstract

This study focused on CNN and Fox New to illustrate how agenda-setting can influence viewers' attitudes and behaviors. In the United States, there has always been a left-right divide in the media. Many of the political commentators on Fox News are considered conservative and have good relations with Republican politicians, and CNN, a more objective network, has gradually "leaned left" in recent years. Although both media outlets are mainstream media in the U.S., they have different political stances and therefore report events from different angles, allowing for a better study of the role of agenda-setting in news coverage.
