Firstly, the press has an agenda-setting function in a democratic society, which involves determining

has the power to shape public opinion and influence the policy agenda of government officials.
Through their reporting and editorial choices, the press can set the tone for public discussions and
direct the attention of policymakers to particular issues that require attention. For example, the
media's coverage of climate change has raised public awareness of the issue and has placed pressure
on policymakers to take action.
