[edit] Overview

Civilization currently has four (possibly five) major official arenas in which issues are ultimately resolved by dialogue and disputation.

Public discussion of issues has traditionally taken place in a number of additional venues:

  • mainstream media:
    • newspapers (editorials and letters)
    • television (debates, editorials)
  • town meetings (generally overburdened and barely adequate for dealing with local issues)
This is a growing seedling article. You can help Issuepedia by watering it.

[edit] Recent Events

Newspapers and television have become increasingly compromised all over the world by media consolidation. Within the United States, the Bush II administration has been engaged in anti-democratic efforts to undermine the effectiveness of many or most of these arenas.

[edit] Notes

How does "public opinion", as arrived at by discussion between individuals (and informed, perhaps unfortunately, by popular media) fit into this?
