The Public Sphere: An Introduction

Drawing on many examples from contemporary media culture, Alan McKee looks at how we communicate with each other in public — and how we decide whether changing forms of communication are beneficial for the "public sphere". McKee's introduction to the concept of the public sphere, or free debate space, includes background history as well as philosophical arguments concerning its function.
