For the third of this season’s IAPMR@Dialogues, prof. Christian Fuchs will be speaking about “The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere and Public Service Media in the Age of Digital Capitalism and COVID-19”, a webinar that will be joined by prof. Slavko Splichal (University of Ljubljana) as a respondent.

Christian Fuchs takes the 60th anniversary of Jürgen Habermas’ book The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere as an occasion to outline some foundations of an empirically grounded critical theory of the #PublicSphere in 21st-century society. He will discuss theoretical foundations and present the results of empirical research on the digital public sphere. He will give special attention to digital capitalism, COVID-19, public service media, and the Internet as aspects of the 21st-century transformation of the public sphere.
