critically appraise the concept of the public sphere in the context of contemporary digital media

1) Examine how a specific case of media platform or program might provide the basis for the realisation of the public sphere.
2) offer different sides of the debate + include your own argument on the basis of the evidence you provide.
* HOW TO ORGANISE:
1) Habermas, J. ([1974] 1964) ‘The Public Sphere: An Encyclopaedia Article’ New German Critique, 3(1): 49-55.
Add this as a reference and go beyond it in order to construct a deep understanding of what the public sphere meant when Habermas first articulated the theory, and how we might understand its application in today’s world.
2) Pick a case of a contemporary media example of your choice and examine whether/ where/ how/ to what effect it might be perceived as a public sphere.
