    Answer:
    By
    ‘setting agendas’, the media influences the way we think
    and makes us aware of issues which it thinks is important. One
    instance of this would be the raising of awareness about the levels
    of pesticides in colas. Another is the Fashion week, which was at the
    front of headlines while several slums were being demolished in
    Mumbai.
