>>If news, ideas, viewpoints etc are made known to the readers, viewers or listeners through a medium then it can not constitute a public sphere, even when there is a public who gather around that medium however discretely in space and time.
It may not be the case if you take an Andersnian position and tries to look at nation as a constituted public sphere. And in the vein of McLuhan, can't utter "Medium is the message and massage".. the wonderful thing about Habermasian public sphere is that it assumes an ideal space for freedom of expression. the medium itself need not, but the way it extend human senses does the magic, perhaps let me rethink . this s just a first response. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
