الملخص الانجليزي
The present study investigated the international intermedia network agenda setting among eleven news websites from four different languages and three political orientations, in the aftermath of the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. Our study aimed to explore the potential for a given medium to shape the agenda of other countries’ media, and to identify if language or political orientation may influence intermedia network agenda setting at both the issue and attribute levels.
The findings of our study are consistent with previous research on intermedia agenda setting, which has shown that media outlets can influence the issues and attributes that are deemed important by other media outlets. Our study extends this research by exploring the dynamics of intermedia agenda setting in the international sphere and for an unexpected situation.
Our findings showed that intermedia network agenda setting occurred among the websites studied, with high correlations between issues and a greater number of relationships between attributes. Interestingly, we found that the New York Times was not able to set an agenda in either issue or attribute levels in contrast to Tehran Times which has one of the most powerful agendas to affect many other agendas including New York Times.
