Mediasphere
A mediasphere is a term used to describe the collective ecology of the world media, including:
- newspapers
- journals
- television
- radio
- books
- novels
- advertising
- press releases
- publicity
- and the blogosphere to include any and media both broadcast and published.
John Hartley defines it as the whole universe of media, both factual and fictional in all terms (print. electronic, screen) and all genres (news, drama) all taste hierarchies (from art to entertainment) in all languages in all countries.
It therefore completely encloses and contains as a differentiated part of itself the (Habermasian) public sphere ( or the many public sphere's ) and it is itself contained by the much larger semiosphere - that is the whole universe of sense-making by whatever means, including speech.
