This research investigation examines the policy communities and networks (PC&N) perspective as a tool for understanding the influence of the news media in shaping the policy agenda. It does so, by examining the evolution of two case studies in a new policy arena, asylum, and immigration, from policy initiative to policy reversal. In order to understand how the dynamics of discourse shape the development of the policy agenda, it is fundamental to first understand the nature of information flow in social settings. Policy communities and networks provide the appropriate social setting in which to explore the role of the news media, as it facilitates the flow in which information is constructed, distributed, and absorbed within them. Existing literature on the influence of the news media on the development of opinion making is extensive, however literature on the influence of the news media on the development of policy making is emergent. By applying the PC&N perspective to understanding the role of the news media on issue definition, decision making and policy change, this research investigation contributes to the literature on both; as well as the emergent literature on the influence of the news media on immigration and asylum policy itself. In addition, through its empirical examination of the evolution of case study asylum and immigration policy reversals, this research investigation utilises a new methodology, content analysis, to identify the existence, nature and membership of policy communities and networks and insider groups active within them. In providing strong evidence that the policy communities and networks perspective is a valid approach for understanding the nature of policymaking and the role of the news media in shaping policy agendas, it also provides an alternative approach to examining policy making in an emergent field of policy science research, asylum and immigration policy network analysis.
