- Abstract
Through agenda setting, news media become critical for the visibility of political accountability instances. This article aims to provide statistical evidence for a scenario in which news media shift their reporting agenda anticipating the public's interests or newsworthiness of an extraneous event (the 2018 FIFA World Cup), reducing the coverage of a critical one-time-a-year accountability instance (the "Rendición de cuentas"). Based on scrapping all publications from the main Uruguayan news media conglomerates a lagged dependent variable Poisson model was fitted on the "Rendición de cuentas" daily news reporting. Findings signal the necessity to consider the externalities of conducting critical democratic debates during mega-events.
