QUESTIONS TO SHARPEN YOUR FOCUS

1		If the media aren't telling you what to think, why is their ability to tell you what to think about so important?
2		What type of person under what type of circumstances is most susceptible to the media's agenda-setting function?
3		Hillary Clinton continues to be one of the most controversial public figures in America. How could you frame her visit to a children's hospital to make her look good? How could you do it to make her look bad?
4		Is there a recent issue that news reporters and commentators are now talking about all the time that you and the people you know don't care about? Do you think you'll still be unconcerned four months from now?
