Description/Abstract
The Agenda-setting theory establishes the influence of mass media over audiences, to determine which topics are of public interest and their scope and relevance. Nowadays, mass media and Hondurans also set the priority of the information broadcasted in their digital platforms. This research stablished a base line of 104 Hondurans mass media online platforms until January 2024. Six (4 newspapers, 1 TV, and 1 Radio) were selected for this study to analyze the priority of headlines and topics (political, health, crime) on its daily front pages. The key findings offer significant data such as the fact that only 3% of the headlines were positive news, 25% were about crimes and 20% political. In addition, 70% of the 1,121 headlines evaluated had a neutral tone
