This paper explores the concept of the new public sphere and public discourse in the context of globalisation. It starts by analyzing how globalisation has affected the emergence of the new public sphere and the role that digital technologies have played in it. The influence of the new public sphere on public discourse during globalisation is discussed, along with how it has affected accessibility, citizen engagement, and power dynamics. The paper also examines the various issues that the new public sphere during globalisation brings to the forefront of public discourse, such as the increased spread of false information, polarization of opinion, marginalization of oppressed groups, cultural appropriation, privacy concerns, surveillance, censorship, and the digital divide. It concludes by arguing that the new public sphere and public discourse during globalisation can be beneficial but should be managed carefully to ensure it is a positive force for society.
