Explanation:

Priming refers to the technique used in influencing response to stimulus whereby one is exposed to one stimulus and it is sure to cause influence to response to a subsequent stimulus, without one being consciously guided or doing it intentionally. For example the news viewer above will expect the news to start with violent crimes as the news has given the first stimulus of starting with violent crimes every night.
