Discursive Democracy
If democracy is a discursive process, we need more interactive media. Some activist organizations now have blogs where readers and writers can interact, discuss and share ideas, yet most thought-leading organizations still broadcast but don't receive. Given the exclusivity of mainstream media, we desperately need venues for challenging and improving our points of view; otherwise we retreat to insular comfort zones, which in the end subvert solidarity.
