The media doesn't tell us what to think, but it tells us what to think about describes the agenda-setting function of the media. The media often portrays, good or bad, information in a way they want the general public to think about it. The information we hear about is because of the media deciding it should be sought to our attention. Agenda-setting is the function of the media in which they bring public awareness to different concerns.
