“…Mas, quando devidamente contextualizadas, encontramos elementos valiosos e contestáveis nas ideias de Anthony Downs (1972) sobre ecologia e ambiente, mas que restam indevidas ou parcialmente apropriadas pela academia, seja apenas utilizando-as com autoridade, sem qualquer ponderação a respeito (Petersen, 2009;Daw, Morgan, Thomson, & Law, 2013), ou mencionadas como corretas e até evidenciadas pela 'realidade' (Miguel & Coutinho, 2007;Vivarta, 2010;Egler, 2012), ou tomadas como abordagem rudimentar (Gomes & Almada, 2014). Ainda, encontramos pesquisas que as comprovaram empiricamente (Newig, 2004;Thogersen, 2006) e até mesmo uma tentativa de ampliação das ideias originais, após suposta validação empírica (McComas & Shanahan, 1999).…”

“…Petersen (2009, Mais recente, Daw et al (2013) realizaram mapeamento no Canadá sobre a cobertura de jornais impressos a respeito de financiamentos de medicamentos durante período de 20 anos, partindo do princípio de que os atributos desse assunto seriam consistentes com as três qualidades indicadas por Downs (1972); ao final, os autores concluem, empiricamente, que esse assunto não se enquadraria na sequência do 'ciclo', pois os estágios dois, três e quatro aconteciam simultaneamente.…”

RESUMO. Este artigo tem como propósito investigar a contribuição do issue-attention cycle de Anthony Downs, proposto em 1972, para o debate atual sobre a tríplice relação política-mídia-ambiente. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos de articular uma revisão da teoria sobre o issue attention cycle e de averiguar a pertinência do ciclo no que tange à atenção midiática dada às questões ecológicas neste século, este artigo se desdobra em três partes, começando pela revisão do trabalho original de Downs, seguida de uma revisão de literatura nacional e internacional, encerrando com uma proposta de releitura do 'ciclo'. Ao final, espera-se que essa pesquisa venha contribuir com a consolidação de uma preocupação ambiental efetivamente política, com vistas ao nosso Futuro Comum.ABSTRACT. This paper aims to investigate how Anthony's Down issue-attention cycle, proposed in 1972, can contribute to the current debate regarding the tripartite politics-media-environment. In order to achieve the proposed objectives of articulating a revision of the issue attention cycle theory and of ascertaining the pertinence of the cycle with regard to the media attention given to ecological issues in this century, this paper unfolds in three parts, starting with the revision of the original work of Downs, followed by a national and international literature review, ending with a proposal for a rereading of the 'cycle'. In the end, it is hoped that this research will contribute to the consolidation of an environmental concern effectively policy, aimed at our common future.

“…Liu et al [17] refer to focusing events in the context of climate change to include a whole array of scandals, trials, protests, international agreements, creating new institutions, and science discoveries. Similarly confusing is Daw et al [18], where they refer to focusing events through the prism of major health reforms. An obvious question to ask is whether the historically significant 9/11 event [1] and "health reform" [18] are really viewed as equal or comparable in terms of magnitude levels?…”

“…Similarly, Wood's [10] reference to tipping events, such as the MSA agreement in the case of US tobacco industry, as a special type of focusing events is apparently inaccurate. Instead, both the MSA agreement [10] and major health reforms [18] should be viewed as distinctly tipping events, as contrasted to focusing events per (Table 1). The frequency of the occurrence of and degrees of magnitude of these different types of events are key indicators.…”

Contrasting between Focusing, Real-world and Significant Events in Agenda-Setting: Introducing a New Typology of “Anchor” Events

The focusing event theory has been substantially formed by contributions of John Kingdon by offering a somewhat broader definition of focusing events through the prism of his multiple streams theory, and Thomas Birkland, who introduced better precision by listing a number of basic characteristics of focusing events (e.g. using the example of 9/11 terrorist attacks as a focusing event, as in Birkland 2004). These major contributions notwithstanding, there still seems to be a strikingly persistent absence of clarity in defining the notion of "focusing events" within the agenda-setting stage of the policy process, and a lack of a general typology of related significant, or key events. Even somewhat more disturbing is that, inspired by Birkland's notion of focusing events, a number of subsequent scholars attempted to develop this theory, unintentionally further conflating the meaning of focusing events.Thus, it is important not only to more clearly define focusing events but also to develop an operationalizable typology of a broader set of related anchor events as applied to agenda-setting. It is precisely these two issues that form the analytical essence and contributions this paper aims to achieve. The focusing event theory has become increasingly vital to explain a wide range of social and policy-related events, e.g. 9/11, large-scale earthquakes, major healthcare reforms in a given jurisdiction etc.
