I'm currently researching for my PR Diploma dissertation which will explore the ability of UK political blogs to set or influence the UK's mainstream media agenda.
Put simply, is there evidence of UK political bloggers breaking or shaping stories that have been picked up by the MSM.
In order to examine the agenda-setting process at work I wondered if anyone could suggest some examples where bloggers have set the media agenda in some way?
The work is non-commercial and any help given will be credited as part of the study's research methodology.
Any suggestions gratefully recived but they need to be UK political bloggers setting the UK media agenda.
Feel free to leave your thoughts/comments below or alternatively email them to me at the email address in my 'about' section.
Thanks!
