Resumen:
Sumario:In this article, we analyze the relationship between traditional media, social networks and agenda setting. The agenda-melding model is consistent with the creation of information bubbles, although it fails to explain how an agenda takes form when users can actively publish and disseminate content that is of interests to them. Our model investigates the decision of users to promote and propagate content that is cognitively congruent with their preferences. We measure the propensity of virtual users to propagate content consistent with their political beliefs, the propensity to propagate links to traditional and non-traditional media, and the time to retweet a message (latency) based on links to traditional media included in those posts. The findings indicate that the messages spread with different speed in the network, depending on the congruence or cognitive dissonance between users and of these for the messages published. Results show that communities of users that meld a collective agenda can limit the capacity of the traditional media to set the public agenda.
