Discussion Two

In summary, Lincoln Dahlberg’s article “Re-construction digital democracy: An outline of four ‘positions’” categorizes the users of digital media as the following: liberal consumer, deliberative, counter-publics, and autonomous Marxist.

Do you agree with Dahlber’s conclusion that the uses of digital media and can be summed up in four categories and all serve a democratic purpose?

Do you believe that with digital media, the objectives of the four categories would be difficult to achieve?

Suppose you lived in a censored country such as China each digital category outlined in the article would be exclusive to the government. Would you consider it a social injustice to have limited access regarding digital media?
