Agenda-Setting Theory

We don't want to tell you what to think, but we do want you to think more about how media impact our public discourse. Join Chris Ottaviano as he unravels McCombs and Shaw's Agenda-Setting Theory.

What is Comm Theory Unraveled?

What are we talking about when we talk? Over the course of 16 episodes, we invite you to take 10 minutes to unwind and unravel communication theory with us. In each episode, the students of the spring 2024 COM 230: Introduction to Communication Theory at NC State University will lead you through a new theory--exploring how we handle new situations, negotiate relationships, navigate conflict, interact with media, and much more.
