Both agenda‑setting and framing are techniques through which media influence public perception, but they operate at different levels:
| Aspect | Agenda‑Setting | Framing |
| Primary focus | What issues are considered important | How those issues are interpreted |
| Mechanism | Frequency and prominence of coverage | Selection of language, images, and context |
| Effect on power | Shapes the public agenda, influencing what policymakers address | Guides interpretation, potentially legitimising or delegitimising power structures |
