Citizen Activism and Internet Campaigns :A study of Mediation
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Digital media and public sphere acquired a permanent place on research agendas and in the intellectual inquiry in the last two decades as it has made a mark in bridging the gap between state and citizen, thus helped to create public sphere. The paper deals with the argument on how Internet media provides a counter public realm in the global south like India and continues to play the role of creating middle class and upper middle class public sphere. This paper also attempts to theorise how such Internet campaigns play or might play a major role in either forging or mediating the formation of civil society. The first part of the paper elaborates the role of media campaigns in creating a space for dialogue and the second part deals with the limitations of internet to form a common frame of reference in a third world country like India.
