Media and Public Spheres

Media and Public Spherespresents empirical studies of print, recorded music, movies, radio, television and the Internet that reveal how media studies structure the public sphere as well as how people use media to participate in the public sphere. They explore the nature of public spheres, how they are deliberative, egalitarian, exclusive or alternative, and the dilemmas each of these present. The studies include cases of media, present and past, in North America, Europe and Asia.Butsch, Richard is the author of 'Media and Public Spheres ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780230007215 and ISBN 023000721X.
