“…This study borrowed heavily from the agenda-setting theory, put forth by McCombs and Shaw in 1972, which posits that members of the audience not only learn about public issues through mass media, but also attach meaning to such issues depending on the emphasis placed to it by the media (Blasco-Duatis, et al, 2019). Thus, the media influences the importance of topics on the public by attaching prominence and frequency to the coverage of issues.…”

This study sought to assess the level of prominence given to children's rights stories in two major newspapers with extensive reach in Kenya and the East Africa region: The Daily Nation and The Standard. Specifically, the study conducted a content analysis to explore the volume of coverage dedicated to children’s stories between January and December 2020. The study further examined the prominence given to children’s rights to education, health, and protection from child labour in the selected newspapers. Agenda-setting theory was utilized, and a purposive sampling technique was adopted to select the two newspapers, as well as stratified random sampling for selecting the newspaper articles. Additionally, eight editors and reporters who write and report about children’s issues for the selected media organizations were purposively sampled to participate in Key Informant Interviews. The study found 303 online articles which had general stories featuring children’s issues but analyzed 93 articles (55 in The Daily Nation and 38 in The Standard) with relevant content where children were the main focus. The research findings revealed that most articles about children (72%) were presented as news reports, and there was generally low coverage of child rights issues. However, the media provided opportunities for children to comment on their issues without violating the ethical principles of journalism. Based on these findings, the study concludes that there was low coverage of child rights issues in the media. It recommends that media organizations hire and retain specialist journalists who write and report about children’s issues, media stakeholders use awards to motivate and inspire outstanding child rights journalists, and that academia incorporate children reporting as a unit into journalism education curricula.

This article uses the classic multivariate cumulative sum (MCUSUM$\mathrm{MCUSUM}$) chart scheme proposed by Crossier (1988) to present a new modified MCUSUM$\mathrm{MCUSUM}$ chart for compositional data (CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$). For this purpose, the data are first transformed using isometric log‐ratio (ilr$\operatorname{ilr}$) coordinates representation to eliminate the constant sum constraint of CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$. The MCUSUM$\mathrm{MCUSUM}$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ control chart has been defined along with the performance measures of the proposed chart using the average run length (ARL$\mathrm{ARL}$). Besides, the Markov chain method has been used to study the ARL$\mathrm{ARL}$ performance of the proposed chart. Assuming that the ilr$\operatorname{ilr}$ transformed data are normally distributed, the proposed MCUSUM$\mathrm{MCUSUM}$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ charts have been compared with existing competitors such as T2$T^2$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ and MEWMA$\mathrm{MEWMA}$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ charts. The comparison shows that the proposed chart has better performance than the T2$T^2$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ control charts, while the performance of the proposed chart is comparable with the MEWMA$\mathrm{MEWMA}$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ chart. The effect of the estimated mean vector and variance‐co‐variance matrix on run‐length characteristics of the proposed MCUSUM$\mathrm{MCUSUM}$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ control chart has also been studied in this paper. For the ARL$\mathrm{ARL}$ performance of MCUSUM$\mathrm{MCUSUM}$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ with estimated parameters Monte Carlo simulation has been adopted. The effect of the number of variables p$p$, sample size n$n$, and subgroup size m$m$ has also been studied on the data's upper control limit (UCL$\mathrm{UCL}$) and ARL$\mathrm{ARL}$. In the end, two illustrative examples of the particle size distribution of plants and production of muesli are provided to represent the practical implementation of the MCUSUM$\mathrm{MCUSUM}$‐CoDa$\mathrm{CoDa}$ chart.
