biased journalism
cherry-picking
agenda-setting
framing

Explanation:

• Biased journalism involves unfair presentation, not matching the described media influence on public agenda.
• Cherry - picking is selecting data/info selectively, not about setting public agenda.
• Agenda - setting is when media influences what issues the public (and officials) think are important. Here, media's focus on rural crime makes it an issue for constituents to pressure officials, so this fits.
• Framing is about how an issue is presented, not about making an issue a priority (agenda - setting is about priority).

Answer:

agenda - setting
