The Media and the Public Sphere A Deliberative Model of Democracy

The Media and the Public Sphere A Deliberative Model of Democracy

At the heart of modern democracy lies the public sphere which is most centrally shaped by those actors that integrate it discursively: the mass media. The media draw together the different strands of political debates; they grant access to some actors and arguments while excluding others and thus decisively mould the political process. In this book Thomas Häussler examines how the media reflect and react to the wider context in which they are embedded. More specifically he focuses on whether their discourse demonstrates systematic differences with regard to the two main public sphere types that they co-constitute according to deliberative theory focussing in particular on the work of Jürgen Habermas. The Media and the Public Sphere promotes a deeper and more detailed understanding of the political process by foregrounding the complex relationships between the media and the public discourse they constitute. It examines how the media co-create relationships of power analyses the structure of these discursive networks and illuminates the effects that different deliberative coalition types have on political debates. | The Media and the Public Sphere A Deliberative Model of Democracy
