b) p. 177 Does the Net provide a ‘public sphere’ where citizens can engage with each other? If so, how, and are there any limitations?

Yes the Net does provide a 'public sphere' where citizens can engage with each other. Lister et al. show how the news/press has created a public sphere for people to discuss. For example, "Newsgroups, bulletin boards and email groups all have the facilitation of group communications" Lister et al. There used to be limitations within public sphere communications as Lister et al, discuss the work of Shultz, and how there are limitations within this sphere of the public. The limitation comes in the form of the reader (of the newspaper) and the journalist, and how the journalist had little communication in the forums with the reader. This lack of communication left the reader feeling, "no more represented than in pre-online publication." This leads to limitations with the reader feeling disconnected from the journalist.
