sentences: The Literary Digest was an influential American general interest weekly magazine published by Funk & Wagnalls.
 Founded by Isaac Kaufmann Funk in 1890, it eventually merged with two similar weekly magazines, "Public Opinion" and "Current Opinion".
Current Opinion in Cell Biology is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier covering all aspects of cell biology including genetics, cell communication, and metabolism.
 It was established in 1998 and is part of the Elsevier "Current Opinion" series of journals.
 The editors-in-chief are Tom Mistley (National Institutes of Health), Anne Ridley, and Graham Warren.
In Denmark there are various magazines with different frequency types, including weekly magazines, monthly magazines and quarterly magazines.
 As in other Nordic countries, the national consumer organizations publish their magazines in Denmark.
 In 2007, there were nearly 68 consumer magazines in the country which were mostly owned by Danish media groups.
 Of them 52 were monthly/quarterly whereas 16 were weekly.
 These magazines were grouped into four main categories: general-interest magazines, opinion magazines, TV and radio guides, and professional and scientific magazines.
Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering all aspects of the behavioral sciences.
 It was established in 2015 and is published by Elsevier as part of their "Current Opinion" series of journals.
 The editors-in-chief are Cindy Lustig (University of Michigan) and Trevor Robbins (University of Cambridge).
 Each issue covers a specific theme and is edited by one or more guest editors.
Agenda-setting theory describes the "ability [of the news media] to influence the salience of topics on the public agenda".
 With agenda setting being a social science theory, it also attempts to make predictions.
 That is, if a news item is covered frequently and prominently, the audience will regard the issue as more important.
 Agenda-setting theory was formally developed by Max McCombs and Donald Shaw in a study on the 1968 American presidential election.
 In the 1968 "Chapel Hill study", McCombs and Shaw demonstrated a strong correlation coefficient (r > .9) between what 100 residents of Chapel Hill, North Carolina thought was the most important election issue and what the local and national news media reported was the most important issue.
 By comparing the salience of issues in news content with the public's perceptions of the most important election issue, McCombs and Shaw were able to determine the degree to which the media determines public opinion.
 Since the 1968 study, published in a 1972 edition of "Public Opinion Quarterly", more than 400 studies have been published on the agenda-setting function of the mass media, and the theory continues to be regarded as relevant.
The Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) is a large, cross-national regional research project specializing in the development, implementation, and analysis of public opinion surveys.
