Abstract
The development of technology in the mass media industry has developed very rapidly both in quantity and quality. Various forms of media that have developed have created a serious debate about the agenda in the public discussion in general in society and the role of mass media in contributing to social problems. The use of computer technology and information systems has created new media such as online media (.com) and social media, which in turn creates its own audience and the interaction within cyberspace. Editorial decisions have experience shift on the content provided on cyber news, from news agenda into public agenda. This research will examine mutual relationship of agenda setting within digital mainstream media, namely the online news site JPNN.com and RMOL.id, with the hashtag trending topic on Twitter during the 2019 presidential election period between 20-26 May 2019. Hypothesis expected in this research that there is a positive mutual relationship between JPNN.com's online media headlines and RMOL.id towards trending topic and hashtags on Twitter. But, the results of the study cannot prove the hypothesis that there is a positive mutual relationship between news agenda of online news sites and public agenda whose using Twitter. The two online news sites have not yet made Twitter as the main reference source for news, as Twitter and other social media are mostly used as media to promote news links and their web portal.
