Since the 1968 Chapel Hill study by McCombs and Shaw (1972), agenda-setting theory has become a main perspective of research on media effects, and it has been tested in many other countries outside the United States. The thematic meta-analysis of Chinese agenda-setting articles performed in this study identifies some important trends of agenda-setting research in mainland China, including an increase of interest in agenda-setting theory, a dominance of the original agenda-setting approach and focus, a diversity of topical domains, an atheoretical and non-empirical research tradition, and an increasing concern about the Internet. Challenges and future directions of Chinese agenda-setting research are also discussed in this study.
