Reviewing the relationship between the public space & public opinion: with questions about the digital age influences on mass communication

This composition is a review of the historical works of noteworthy scholars who contributed to the understanding of communication theory, Public Space, and Public Opinion. These are examined alongside the modalities each scholar thought to be of more than slight significance. Included with this review are questions with which communication theorists must be concerned about answering in the Digital Age. A) What aspects of the Public Space prompt or promote the Voice of the Citizenry to demand improved representation within the halls of governance? B)Does the relationship between the tangible Public Space and the intangible Public Opinion make wayfor symbolism in communication that results in substantive change? C) What impact does information delivered by Digital Age technology have on Public Opinion? D) Within the context of mass communication, if there is a cultural meaning to news, how is society affected by Digital Age technology and the near instantaneous delivery of information? Interwoven throughout the review are comments on the scholarly works reviewed and a final look at the necessity of Truth in the Digital Age. Accompanying this review is also a photograph of an original intergenerational painting inspired by this review.
