Abstract
The journalist agenda (issues journalists consider personally important) has received no attention in research about agenda setting and media content creation. However, the discussion about diversity in newsrooms seems to imply that journalists differ in their personal agendas and that these agendas influence media content. Drawing on data from Germany, this study investigated how the agendas of journalists depended on individual and media factors. Some systematic variations were found among journalists working in different media and departments, and between men and women. As journalists' agendas probably have relevance to their news judgments, results seem important to newsroom-diversity issues and media agenda-setting research.
