Through conducting a content analysis of news notifications on the mobile media platform, the current study mainly finds that 1) no agenda correlation exists among legacy media outlets; 2) an agenda correlation is found between non-legacy media outlets and legacy media outlets; 3) in terms of news pushing frequencies, non-legacy media outlets, and legacy media outlets share different news pushing patterns on the mobile media platform. Both theoretical and practical implications are further discussed. Key words: Mobile media, intermedia agenda setting, agenda correlation, legacy media outlets, non-legacy media outlets.
