Why Does Disinformation Spread in Liberal Democracies? The Relationship between Disinformation, Inequality, and the Media
In principle, liberal democracy is about an equal right to decision-making and presumes a public sphere, equally open to all. However, in practice, this normative ideal, articulated, among others, by Jrgen Habermas and John Dewey, is farther away today than ever since WWII.

Tinklų Europa ar Europos viešoji erdvė? Keturios ir viena perspektyvos
The main argument in this article is that instead of attempting to establish the existence or the non-existence of the European public sphere or public spheres, we could think of Europe as consisting of a multiplicity of networks, each having a public sphere or spheres of their own.
