2 Role of the media Ideal roles of the news media The National Democratic Public Sphere Issue-Based Flows The State (national, state, Constitutive Elements: and local): Civil liberties (especially freedoms of speech, press, assembly, & conscience) Free, plural, and independent media systems Access to public information Civil society All sites for everyday talk about public affairs Public Debate Issue-Based & Discussion Public Contestation PUBLIC OPINION 1. Watch-dogs Should check the powerful, guardian of public interest Promote transparency: anti-corruption, incompetence Yet may undermine government legitimacy? 2. Agenda-setters Should raise awareness about social problems Link citizens and representatives Yet may fail to highlight social interests? 3. Gate-keepers Should provide balanced coverage of all communities, parties, NGO interest groups Or may serve only the state or private interests? Debates about impact Illustrative case study: Censorship and suppression of the media in the Burma uprising Common practice in repressive states, variety of techniques used But what impact does state t censorship and propaganda have on public opinion? Reflects long-standing debates Suppress dissent and boost positive regime support, as intended? Or generate constructivist skepticism about media messages? Limited effects model. Or conditional effects where impact varies among users of the broadcast media, newspapers and the Internet? 2.
