Abstract- "The public sphere, of Jürgen Habermas, have been very critical of the ‘old’ mass media, which were seen as unable to promote free and plural societal communication.
The advent of the internet, in contrast, gave rise to hopes that it would make previously marginalized actors and arguments more visible to a broader public. To assess these claims, this paper compares the internet and mass media communication.
The idea of the public sphere has generally come to be understand the open social spaces and public spaces in which private people interact and share information and ideas relevant to the society. "
