“…Thus, what happened historically was not only a structural transformation of the public sphere, as Habermas describes it, but also a cultural transformation, as new groups gained access to voice their issues and concerns, and attempted to influence public opinion and political decisionmaking (e.g. DiCenzo, 2000). The public sphere was not only transformed into an arena of economic or corporate promotionalism; it was also opened up to new political issues, problems and perspectives at the same time.…”

This article examines the role of PR in the debate about global climate change. Seeking to move beyond a focus on PR as just the handmaiden of corporate power, the article documents the fluid role of professionalized communication in terms of its impact on both corporate and NGO actors and their activities, focusing on communication tactics and the influence of PR consultancies. Drawing from the debates around the transformation of the public sphere, the article argues that the climate change issue illustrates not only structural change but also a wider cultural transformation marked by the emergence of promotionalism as the dominant communicative logic of both powerful and institutionally weaker players. It is argued that although existing political and economic resources provide certain actors with significant advantages, these assets and the structural advantages they tend to accrue cannot alone determine the outcome of struggles over climate change policy and public opinion.

“…Women were one of the first social groups to benefit from the education movement. While girls had been educated before, usually privately and within rich families or in convent schools, it was only when universal education became a driving reform that the girls were included, and brave souls like Emily Davies founded women's colleges like Girton (Steeves, 1987;Dicenzo, 2000). While the suffrage movement created their own journals and newspapers (Dicenzo 2000:115), notably Votes for Women (1907)(1908)(1909)(1910)(1911)(1912)(1913)(1914)(1915)(1916)(1917)(1918), it was the next development of the modern media which was to have a significant impact on the inclusion of women within the social mainstream, or rather the parallel development of three distinct media.…”

The idea that the media may be connected or intertwined with social movements is not new, and this paper seeks to examine some questions that arise from thinking about the history of the media in the Western world. There are a range of questions that demand exploration with the conflation of the two discourses: Has the media enabled, demanded or actively created a space for the inclusion of varying groups in society and how has this been done? Is it that the movements would have existed without the transmission of their central ideas through the media? Have those

A discussion article What is the relationship between the growth and expansion of various forms of the media and chronologically coterminous social movements? This paper deliberately sets out to raise more questions than it attempts to answer. Two key ideas are examined: what is meant by social inclusion and how the term is being used in this paper to refer to the breakdown of exclusionary practices. A continuum of policies is suggested which range from recognition to inclusion. The growth of the media is explored, located in the West and Australia. The term media is not closely examined; I use it to refer to the usual suspects- print, radio, television, the new electronic media. The paper is essentially an historical overview from the 17th century to the present day, linking social movements and developments in the transmission of information through the ephemeral practices of the media.
