question 45 (2 points)
which of the following is a media effect?
agenda setting
campaign finance reform
selective perception
press background

Explanation:

• Question 43: The trustee model of representation posits that legislators should use their own judgment when making decisions, rather than strictly following constituent demands, party lines, or a strict constitutional interpretation.
• Question 44: Information given to a journalist on the condition that it is not attributed to any source is called "off the record." "On deep background" usually means the source can be described in general terms (e.g., "a government official"), but not named. "Agenda setting" is a media effect (relevant to Question 45), and "narrowcasting" refers to targeting a specific audience.
• Question 45: Agenda setting is a well - known media effect, which suggests that the media can influence what issues the public thinks are important. Campaign finance reform is a political issue, selective perception is a psychological concept related to how individuals receive information, and press background is more about the context of press interactions rather than a media effect.

Answer:

• Question 43: use their judgment when making decisions
• Question 44: off the record
• Question 45: agenda setting
