Do you agree with Habermas that the commercialisation of mass communication has undermined the public sphere? Jurgen Habermas was born in June 1929 and is viewed as one of the most influential modern day theorists. Habermas was part of what is known as the second wave of theorists following in the footsteps of Adorno and Horkheimer. Habermas associated himself with the Frankfurt school of thought and is arguably most famous for his book ‘The structural transformation of the public sphere’ first published in 1962 and later translated into English in 1989 in which he charted the rise and fall of what he named the ‘Public sphere’. Habermas documented the change from what he called a ‘liberal public sphere’ which emerged during the time of the Enlightenment and the American and French revolutions and how it promoted political discussion and debate to that of a ‘media dominated public sphere’.
