According to agenda setting theory (McCombs & Shaw, 1972), traditional news media sources set the political agenda for a given day by choosing the most relevant stories, in turn impacting the salience of those issues. But today, social media have fundamentally changed this process, offering political elite users like politicians, media personalities, and celebrities who discuss politics the ability to influence the agenda. This means that a new set of sources may be setting the agenda by influencing the framing, selection, and salience of stories to their followers, resulting in fragmentation of information. Though existing literature points to use of polarizing language as well as exclusion of key stories among political elites and especially the political right, this new information pattern on social media is not well understood. This dissertation takes a computational approach to compare the agenda setting influence of traditional news media sources to political elite sources. Using Meta Content Library and API, Instagram and Facebook posts from news media sources as well as political elites will be gathered and analyzed to understand who is setting the agenda and whether they differ in their framing and issue selection across both conservative and liberal sources. A topic content analysis will be conducted to explore differences among these groups, and a text analysis will be conducted to explore the degree to which each type of source uses politically polarizing language (e.g. threat, fear, lie) to appeal to their followers. Cross-platform differences are also analyzed. Implications for theory and the spread of disinformation on social media are explored.

- Feb 124:00 PMBORDERLAND | The Line Within - Human Rights Film+ SeriesAbout the FilmBORDERLAND | The Line Within (https://borderland.skylight.is/) is a documentary that explores the reality that the United States border is not just a geographic location. The border is everywhere. It lies within every undocumented immigrant family with the threat that at any moment they can be captured, incarcerated, deported; their lives destroyed. The film not only exposes the profitable business of immigration and its human cost, but weaves together the stories of immigrant heroines and heroes resisting and showing a way forward, intent on building a movement in the shadow of the border industrial complex, recognizing the human rights of all. Following a screening of the film, we're thrilled to be joined by filmmakers Paco de Onís and Pamela Yates for a post-show discussion moderated by El Instituto's Anne Gebelein. Join us after for a catered reception in the Dodd Lounge. Watch the Trailer About the FilmmakersPaco de Onís and Pamela Yates – Producer and Director of BORDERLAND. Paco is the Executive Director and Pamela is the co-founder of Skylight, a human rights media organization dedicated to strengthening social justice movements through cinematic storytelling and catalyzing collaborative networks of artists and activists. In many ways BORDERLAND brings the saga of Skylight's Guatemala trilogy–When the Mountains Tremble (1983), Granito (2011), and 500 Years (2017)–full circle back to the U.S. From the impact of U.S. foreign policy that backed brutal regimes leading to the root causes of migration, to the present situation of mass migration from Central America. Our Sponsors This event is supported by the Human Rights Film & Digital Media Initiative (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/film-digital-media/), a collaborative venture between the Department of Digital Media & Design and the Dodd Human Rights Impact Programs at the Gladstein Family Human Rights, as well as UConn's El Instituto (https://elin.uconn.edu/) (Institute of Latina/o, Caribbean, and Latin American Studies).
