Summary/Abstract: In this study we have analyzed the normative model of the public sphere, as it was proposed by Habermas in his seminal work on the structural transformation of the public sphere. Habermas not only describes the formation of the liberal bourgeois public sphere in modernity, but also criticizes this model following the lines of his normative model. We believe that this model is still actual and usable in the context of the new public spheres created in connection with the new communication technologies and globalization and we tried to prove along our study that this is true.
