Colloquium Presentation Part 5: The Public Sphere: Public Sphere Media

“They [the Bourgeois] soon began to make use of the public sphere of informational newspapers, which was officially regulated, against the public power itself, using those papers, along with the morally and critically oriented weeklies, to engage in debate about the general rules governing relations in their own essentially privatized but publicly relevant sphere of commodity exchange and labor” (Habermas)
