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 Haussler 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 Jurgen
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.
