The public sphere is a concept that has undergone significant changes in recent decades. In its
traditional meaning, the public sphere was conceived as the exchange and communicative interaction
between social actors that gives rise to public opinion. But the development of media societies
gave rise to a public sphere colonized by the mass media, which were both intermediaries who
channeled the messages of these actors and privileged actors in the public conversation. The
article theoretically traces the evolution from the media public sphere of the second half of the
20th century to what we call the post-media public sphere, characterized by the fragmentation and
multiplicity of messages, actors and audiences, the rise of the Internet and digital
social networks, and the loss of the media’s capacity for intermediation and influence.
