Abstract

The article examines the role of social networks in building the media’s agenda in the context of the movement known as the Arab Spring. With that objective in mind, the authors offer the hypothesis that social networks transfer their agenda to the media by creating new scheduling flows and concurrence with the classical conception of the agenda-setting theory.
