A public sphere is a geographical, textual, or technological sites and forums that are accessible to people (usually at no expence), invite their participation, and provide opportunities for that participation. Examples include sidewalks, public libraries, city council meetings and the internet.
Over the past few days,i have carried my English 201 writers notebook around my neighborhood and around the USI campus. I have been taking notes on all of the different public spheres i have noticed.
Princeton Daily Clarion, Am 12.50 radio station, mail in my mailbox, bulliten boards at Wal Mart/Allstar video, Information boards at USI and on MyUSI account, CNN news, CBS News, News 14, News 25, Fox 7 News, basketball games, text messages on my cell phone, Myspace and Facebook news, group invitations on Facebook.
These are just a few that i noticed. Some of these are easy to get ahold of depending on your lifestyle and what you do for a living, you may never notice any of these for yourself. For instance, it's hard to get Myspace and Facebook news when you haven't signed up for an account with either.
