Your changes arent bolded so its hard to know what you changed from the original. Lead: It reflects changes but im not sure what changes are yours and what was already in the article. I see some edits and removals have been made when comparing to the original. It is missing a brief description of sections of the article. I think the intro is really well done and concise and explains the topic very well.

Content: The content seems like it is relevant but seems like it is missing some information as well. The original article has the Three Models of Agenda Setting which I think is important to include. It would also help explain your sections a bit more I believe.

Tone: For the most part it seems to be unbiased but there was the one part I questioned down below. It doesnt seem like one side is over or under represented.

Sources: You mostly cite your sources at the end of the paragraph but I think there are several paragraphs that are important to have citations throughout.

Organization: If you put your sections together with some that are already existing in the article, I think there is a good flow.

Overall: It seems like a lot of this information already existed in the original article so it is hard to tell what is yours. I think the lead was edited nicely and it gives a rounded concise definition. I would look at moving more sections from the original to yours to make it a more flushed out article.

Agenda setting (Theory)describes the "ability (of the news media) to influence the importance placed on the topics of the public agenda". "Since they (define they) establish the agenda, they may affect how important some thing(s) are seen to be. "The agenda-setting by media is driven by the media's bias on things such as politics, economy and culture, etc. The main causative mechanism is a pretty straightforward one: Audiences consider an issue to be more significant the more media attention it receives (issue salience).- maybe cite the source again here.

History: "The overwhelming weight of the Chapel Hill data pointed to an agenda-setting influence."- Chapel Hill wasnt mentioned before and feels out of place.

Agenda Setting Research: I think this section should have more information cited.

"When it comes to shaping public opinion on the relative importance of topics and features at both the first and second levels of agenda setting, the news media may have an equal impact."- what are the first and second levels of agenda setting?

"But to use a phrase from advertising research, the Web's frequency and reach are expanding, and journalists as well as researchers must stay up to date on the most recent data that pertain to these components of the hypothesis."- is this a direct quote? If not, maybe say something other than "to use a phrase".

"While hybrid online behaviors cannot be interpreted in this way only, in certain situations they do serve as signs of importance."- what makes hybrid online different?

"Numerous operational definitions of these agendas are evolving, even within the prevailing dyad of news media agenda = public agenda."- I think this should be rephrased.

Agenda Setting Theory and Social Media: "One example of an anachronism that dates back to an unclear period is the "virtual community." A movement has to be treated seriously by the time its members reach double digits in age and represent a medium-sized nation's population. That implies it's time to stop the virtual community on the Internet, particularly with regard to social media usage."- it might just be me but I dont understand what you are trying to say here.It also seems like it might be a bit biased. It seems to be explained a bit in the next paragraph but that you are saying it should not exist because it doesnt align with the states viewpoints.

Conclusive Research:

"This can be accomplished by having the mass media establish its agenda on a given topic or agenda ." "The mass media has greater influence the faster the information is delivered by the gadget."- define what platforms people are receiving news on.

"These same academics have realized that, because Internet publication has become more user-friendly and content can now be quickly posted online, Internet media encompasses much more."- what else does it include?
