Emphasizes the need to study the margins of the public sphere & unconventional groups involved in political communication. Three case studies of politically marginalized groups -- women in the salons of Enlightenment Paris, France; an African-American newspaper in 1930s Chicago, IL; & a contemporary branch of the Libertarian Party -- illustrate that multiple public spheres exist, media can help citizens create their own community, & marginal groups create communication back channels & design their own rituals for dissent. Such themes are argued to be pivotal to scholarship on political communication & can greatly contribute to the study of mainstream politics. Adapted from the source document.
