We are pleased to announce that KFG Working Paper No. 43 "Grounding the European Public Sphere. Looking Beyond the Mass Media to Digitally Mediated Issue Publics" has been published.

The author Lance Bennett  proposes to supplement the mass media perspective on the questions of Europeanization of public spheres by analyzing transnational issue advocacy networks that form around policy issues as trade and development.Within the paper, he introduces a method for mapping digitally mediated issues networks and assessing the degree to which they engage publics and policy processes.
