The '''political agenda''' is a set of issues and policies laid out by either the [[executive (government)|executive]] or cabinet in government which tries to dictate existing and near-future political news and debate. The political agenda while shaped by government can be influenced by grass-roots support from party activists at events such as a [[party conference]] and can even be shaped by non governmental activist groups which have a political aim. [[Non-governmental organisations]] such as [[Make Poverty History]] and environmental groups such as [[Greenpeace]] have been able to shape the political agenda at international conferences.  [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4645823.stm]

Increasingly the mass media can have an effect in shaping the political agenda through its news coverage of news stories. Celebrity chef [[Jamie Oliver]] was able to shape the political agenda by running a series of programs which criticized the quality of school dinners in the [[United Kingdom]]. This led to government action by education secretary [[Ruth Kelly]] to improve the quality of meals which would not have occurred if it was not for such prominent and vocal criticism.
