Social Media and the Public Sphere
For this paper, you’ll analyze a social media platform (like Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter…the list goes on) as a contributor to our public sphere. To do this, your paper will:
introduce the social platform and analyze the affordances of social media as they are used by that platform;
identify and contextualize a representative entry or post from your social media platform that you feel is a good example of how your platform engages the public sphere; and
connect the example/platform to Habermas’s idea of the public sphere.
Your paper should, as always, have an arguable thesis statement; since this paper is asking you to work with 2-3 elements/ideas, that thesis will take time to evolve.
