Abstract
This article proposes a literature review that allows a critical reflection on endogenous and exogenous factors involved, with varying degrees of effectiveness, on the construction process of the media agenda. The analysis focuses on the link there is between the media and decision makers; on the active participation of the media in the political field; on the capacity of sources of information to install the agenda of whom (Charron, 1998), and on the levels of influence that different actors exert on the media agenda, installing or hiding an issue, and promoting a certain definition of reality.
