Abstract:


Media push the human being into socialization, while the helpseeking programs for individuals in recent years expose private sphere matters to the public, which, obviously, challenges the classical proposition of public sphere and extends the media function. Moreover, media as an extension of the human body, socialize an individual maximally, whilst the extensions of its function makes the platform for public discourse extend to the individual space. The extension frees individuals from the boundary of extreme inflation of instrumental rationality resulting from the cultural industry.

Key words: TV Programme, media, Public field
