Abstract
This study explores the development and maintenance of topics on the public agenda and tests whether, for a new issue to compete for attention, an old issue must be displaced. This study finds little support for that assumption, and argues that the maintenance of topics is complex and the displacement effect is not as powerful as once assumed.Keywords
