Why is agenda setting theory potentially a disadvantage for those trying to address social problems?

Agenda-setting theory says media influence which issues the public sees as important by deciding what receives coverage. This can disadvantage people addressing social problems because gatekeepers control which issues get attention; problems they do not prioritize may be overlooked. Therefore, the correct choice is “Issues only get attention if gatekeepers decide they’re important.”
