Until recently, researchers on agenda-setting and Internet media have for the most part defined for Three recent major events in which so-called alternative purposes of study Internet media as websites, bulletin sources were influential include the coverage of boards or online discussion groups. Against this background, the participatory turn took place in science, and the governance of science and technology underwent reforms towards more and discursive engagement activities [25]. Participants described agenda setting and rated the importance of proposed domains. https://doi.org/10.3390/su11102780, Woolley JP, McGowan ML, Teare HJA, Coathup V, Fishman JR, Settersten RA, Sterckx S, Kaye J, Juengst ET (2016) Citizen science or scientific citizenship? Diversifying stakeholder dialogues and enabling citizens to demonstrate greater agency enhances reflexive capacities [80]. The first two paradigms were characterised by attributing knowledge and attitude deficiencies to the public, rendering it incapable of understanding science, with the result of limited appreciation for and raising fears of science (and technology). Cite this article. Balzs et al. Others such as Matschoss et al. stakeholder communities. Furthermore, platforms like Twitter allow us to give feedback to media companies, so we can set their agenda rather than the other way around. [31], however, describe a gradual and incomplete shift from understanding to engagement, or, in short, from deficit to dialogue. As far back as 1922 the newspaper columnist Walter Lippman was concerned that the media had the power to present images to the public. The following section presents the typology of agenda-setting styles and instruments and provides examples of different types of tools used to manage policy demands. Here, the initial positioning and rationality of participatory agenda setting activities within STI governance often only allows for a limitedif not marginalinfluence on policy-making [74]. Here, transdisciplinary research generally refers to the integration of three types of knowledge: systems knowledge, target knowledge and transformation knowledge [5]. Technology assessment over the last decades [8, 9, 68]. In this respect, the mechanisms that underpin each of the four strategies presented offer a starting point for more rigorous investigations in policy tools. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-014-0258-4, Repo P, Matschoss K (2019) Considering expert takeovers in citizen involvement processes. Each case included in this paper points towards the dynamics of change and continuity. Governing future technologies: nanotechnology and the rise of an assessment regime. The central focus on this paper is engage with this gap in the literature by analysing the instruments, mostly procedural, that governments rely on in managing policy demands. A qualitative content analysis was performed by assigning categories to text passages as a qualitative-interpretative act, following content-analytical rule [76] to analyse content and contextual meaning of text passages [77].

The integration of organised stakeholders interests has, of course, a long tradition (e.g. Correspondence to Matschoss et al. Do these vary across policy sectors? Some fields actively foster PE activities, for instance space research [59]. Eur J Futur Res 4(1).

That is, for example, to consider under what specific conditions do governments rely on an imposition rather than a consensus-based approach to managing policy demands. Oxford University Press, Bora A, Hausendorf H (2006) Participatory science governance revisited: normative expectations versus empirical evidence. One notable area of renewed emphasis concerns the agenda-setting phase which scholars claim has been subject to relatively little attention (Howlett, Citation1997; Howlett & Shivakoti, Citation2014). The second relates to the focus of this special issue, i.e. Enabling mutual learning and reflexivity lays the foundation for (knowledge) co-creation [93,94,95,96].

In combination with anticipation and reflection, responsiveness can become a transformative ingredient of responsibilisation of actors and institutions in R&I systems [15]. Combining these dimensions can become a transformative ingredient of responsibilisation of actors and institutions in R&I systems [15]. Research funding organisations started to engage with the public to identify and prioritise research topics for investment and to decide between proposals [50]. The subsequent section presents an overview of the tools approach to public policy, and situates the contribution of this paper to the special issue. Rosa et al. Sci Eng Ethics 26(3):17091741. To some extent, such settings emerge from conditions prescribed by the funding body of the PASE activity, resulting in limited accountability of the dominant groups [83]. One can imagine using parliamentary inquiries to foster new demands especially if they are committees chaired by opposition parties.

Participatory science governance is a broadening field and it has been criticised mainly for failing to reach the intended impact, in both formal settings [41] and informal ones [42]. Additionally, public interest in such basic research may be limited. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1001761, Grunwald A, Hocke P (2010) In: Kaiser M, Kurath M, Maasen S, Rehmann-Sutter C (eds) The risk debate on nanoparticles: contribution to a normalisation of the science/society relationship? That is, what combination of specific instruments are deployed to routinise or regularise demands? Part of Given their large economic impact, most of the literature has focused on substantive tools, how they are designed and ultimately deployed (Capano & Howlett, Citation2020). EuropeanCommission. It provides a review of the literature on theory and practice of PASE activities, summarises the topical collections contributions regarding current international cases and analyses respective PASE limits and benefits, thereby promoting its conceptual and practical understanding. In general, there are three main arguments that are presented the most when examining why public participation is necessary for political decision-making [33].

Balzs et al. THE AGENDA-SETTING FUNCTION OF MASS MEDIA* BY MAXWELL E. McCOMBS AND DONALD L. SHAW In choosing and displaying news, editors, newsroom staff, and broadcasters play an important part in shaping political reality. This also serves to create path dependency by pinning down future governments with the agenda of previous ones by creating, or at the minimum reduce the leeway or degrees of freedom that future governments may have in managing new policy demands. From a policy-making perspective, the agenda-setting phase is crucial. This suggests that government efforts at managing agenda-setting are not contending with a highly skilled cadre of interest groups, but often a gaggle of the temporarily mobilised. The application of health promotion agenda-setting in practice enables a comprehensive, planned, innovative, and sustainable course of action which facilitates prioritization of public health. His message is that the room for members of Congress to champion their own discretionary agenda is limited. c. In that context, creating regular systems of policy review can help to build new communities around the imposed agenda. Today, health research priority setting represents a maturing field, with patients mainly being involved most often at the pre-preparation stage to identify high-level priorities in health ecosystem priority setting, and at the preparation phase for health research [39]. Third, our approach adopts a version of institutionalised politics where organised interests seek to engage government. Engaging with such themes would engender a more sophisticated understanding on the efficacy of specific types of instruments (e.g. Finally, it might also be the case that this set of tools is deployed to, over time, bring sporadic agenda items into a more regularised mode of policy making. Once we recognise that government is under pressure from external interests when setting its agenda, the question arises as to how they might seek to manage it? Sci Public Policy 46(5):702709. Secondly, public agenda means issues discussed and personally relevant to public. What determines this choice?

This paper aims to fill this gap by identifying different types of agenda-setting tools deployed by government which are used to shape engagement from organised interests. Stanford University Press, Stanford, Jasanoff S (2003) Technologies of humility: citizen participation in governing science. For instance, a government may seek to lock in regular reviews on statutory authorities with representation from key client groups in order to ensure their favoured issue agenda remains entrenched (even after they leave government). This affirmation leads us to treat the agenda setting and framing approaches not as competing theories but as complementary ones, as put forth theoretically in recent literature (McCombs & Bell, 1997; Ghanem, 1997; McCombs, 1994). 2023 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Referring to the concept of undone science [56], Balzs et al. [85], too, observed mutual learning between experts, practitioners and lay audiences on substantive research topics. For instance, through governmental shepherding of these processes such asposing the questions to be consulted upon it is possible for them to shape demands in least-worst directions. Of course, this tool can also be pressed into service to lock in agendas. This paper focuses on the tools available to government to manage these demands.

Agenda setting is a specific way of shaping futures by guiding the allocation of significant funds towards the chosen targets or fields of priority. The framing is based on the idea of how media base an event or an issue within a particular field of meaning which plays an important role in people's decision making . The terms research priority setting and research agenda setting are often used interchangeably [47]. [32] also find a shift towards strengthening issues of governance of science and the transformation of scientific institutions when compared with to science education and public communication of science. public relations/comms strategies. From a government perspective, these tools provide a way to build consensus as to what the policy problem is, and the range of solutions that seem credible.
