Zusammenfassung:In this paper we examine the presence of agenda-setting effects by theprint media in Argentina from June 2003 to December 2008. Using previouslyunavailable monthly data on newspapers mentions we test twohypotheses about the relationship between the different agendas. We findsupport for the hypothesis that there were media effects during our periodof analysis. More specifically, we find that the total number of newspapermentions of the President positively influenced public confidence in thegovernment. Finally, there is also evidence of a strong and stable relationship between the total number of economic news and leading economicindicators.
