Grassroots Blogs; Elite Blogs; Public Sphere; The Right to Communicate.Abstract
The weblogs are separated into two groups – the grassroots blogs and the elite blogs, under the impact of politics, business, and technique. The right to speak of the elite blogs increasingly strengthens while the grassroots blogs gradually disappear, which leads the public sphere to the blog constructs to be merely a utopia. As long as the weblog restrictions are not relaxed, the advertisers and the operators of the weblogs pursue business interests excessively, and the netizens cannot reasonably exercise the right to communicate on the weblogs, it will be difficult for the weblogs to play the role of constructing the public sphere. Therefore, it’s necessary to promote the construction of the public sphere with reasonable measures.
