Attribute agenda-setting theory has gone through 15 years since it was proposed during the 1990s. In the early stages of attribute agenda-setting theory, foreign scholars focused on how to define the attribute agenda setting. Content analysis with public opinion surveys and the experimental method are the main research methods. Scholars paid little attention to whether media's attribute agenda-setting is functional to audience in this new media context. What's more, researches on attribute agenda-setting are lagging in China.
