One way mass media helps determine which issues are emphasized in political campaigns is through the broadcasting of political events. Mass media plays a crucial role in covering political rallies, debates, town halls, and other campaign events. By doing so, they have the power to select which events to cover extensively and which ones to downplay or ignore. This coverage influences public perception and determines which issues receive more attention and emphasis in the campaign. Additionally, mass media also plays a role in monitoring all current events, including political developments. By highlighting certain events and news stories, they can help shape the focus of political campaigns and the issues that are emphasized. Lastly, during press conferences, journalists from mass media outlets ask questions that can further shape the narrative and determine which issues are discussed and emphasized by the candidates.
