Hi, I have used the following syllabus for a lecture and an accompanying seminar on (digital) public sphere and do think it is crucial for the development of the general intellect and the academic culture of higher education that our students read texts by Habermas etc. that are not as easily consumable as hot dogs, otherwise we may end up with a fast brain food-higher education culture, which is probably already much too advanced...

Hey Adam,
Alongside other recommendations that you might get, I would recommend: Papacharissi, Z., (2002). The Virtual Sphere: The Internet as the Public Sphere, New Media & Society, 4(1), 5‐23.
In this article that writer discusses the (im)possible transformation of Habermas' public sphere to web 2.0 technologies and etc.

Dear List,
I am teaching an undergraduate course on media and the public sphere and looking for an article that introduces the public sphere. Habermas is too dense; Nancy Fraser probably too. The article could be an anthropological case study that frames the data in the theory of the public sphere or a more straight theoretical article. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Best,
