Answer 2

Media affect which issues the public thinks are important by the number of stories they report on that issue or the amount of time they spend covering it.

Controlling media means to control how people think and perceive the reality they live in. By controlling the amount of stories and amount of time these stories are shown, the importance people give to certain matters can be controlled as well, deviating, in certain occasions, people's attention towards other issues.

So the correct answer is A: by the number of stories they report on an issue or the amount of time they spend covering an issue.
