Sumario:Campaign coverage would prefer strategic game and personalization topics more than public policy proposals.

Through a content analysis, the journalists’ agenda in four Chilean presidential debates is compared with that of the written press in the coverage of the respective campaigns. The results show that journalists in the debates focus on public policies, while the press concentrates on strategies or political issues.
