The aim of this article is to analyze the influence level and boundaries that media
have on politics. Specifically, we study the power of media to set the public agenda,
to set the political agenda determining the decision-making process, and to generate
political disaffection through the politicians’ and journalists’ perceptions. We have
used a methodology based on in-depth interviews applied to a wide sample of 45
individuals. The analysis is focused on the European context; the case study is based
specifically on Spain. Results show a high level of mediatization of politics, but also
reveal limits to the political influence of the media. These boundaries of the media
influence on politics affects political agenda setting and its ability to generate civic
engagement. Moreover, we have detected four media engagement boundaries that
boost the citizens’ political cynicism. [-]
