“…In Jürgen Habermas's Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, Habermas asks when and how the public sphere (or öffentlichkeit in German), as a site for social change, enables public opinions to propel political actions (Calhoun, 2011;Habermas, 1999;Habermas et al, 1974). Although the historical context that Habermas originally examined in eighteenth-century Europe has changed over time, the discussion on the public sphere is still relevant to today's development of democracy (Rauchfleisch & Kovic, 2016;Santos et al, 2019;Srnicek & De Sutter, 2017). In a democratic society, the role of the public sphere is fundamental to centering societal communication in discussing problems of general concerns and exchanging diverse opinions from multiple groups of people within a political structure (Dahlberg, 2018;Goode, 2005;Habermas, 1996Habermas, , 1999Habermas, , 2011bHabermas, , 2011aHabermas et al, 2004).…”
