Activity for Week 3 - the Public Sphere
Next week we will be holding a mock-trial based on the readings on the public sphere.
The charge is:
THE INTERNET DOES NOT CREATE A PUBLIC SPHERE
1. In the comments section please add links to articles/blogs/social networks/anything that you think demonstrates either that:
a. the internet DOES create a public sphere
or
b. the internet DOES not create a public sphere
2. make sure you leave a one-sentence/word comment saying whether you think your example is positive or negative
I'll leave a sample comment showing you what I mean
Please come to next week's session prepared to discuss!
