  • Second Level Agenda Setting in CNN News Coverage of The
    2 Abstract Through discourse analysis, this article seeks to compare the cable news coverage of the Columbine High School school shooting and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School school shooting using second-level agenda setting theory, with CNN broadcast transcripts as the unit of analysis. The research showed that the shooter was the dominant shaping force in the creation of the agenda for cable news coverage in both school shooting events. KEYWORDS: AGENDA SETTING MASS SHOOTINGS SCHOOL SHOOTINGS CABLE NEWS ELECTRONIC NEWS 3 Media and Mass Shootings: Second Level Agenda Setting in CNN News Coverage of the Columbine and Parkland Mass Shootings School shootings are at the forefront of social issues in today’s political climate, sparking discussions about gun safety and legislation across the country. According to a study conducted by the Center for Homeland Defense and Security at the Naval Postgraduate School (2020), 2018 accounted for the highest number of active school shooter incidents since the start of their data tracking in 1970. In 2018, there were 11 incidents reported, resulting in 83 people injured or killed. The shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida, contributed to the record breaking numbers of 2018, taking the lives of 14 students, a teacher, an athletic director, and a football coach (Levenson & Sterling, 2018). With the increasing number of school shootings, it is important to analyze the information that cable news media outlets select to disseminate to the American public. Cable news media is an important and influential source of news for the U.S. population, influencing the way political, social, and economic events are perceived and interpreted.
