Abstract
In the past decade, digital information technology has enabled the public to access information online and participate in public debates to a greater extent. This has led to the restructuring and transformation of public consultation. The public is interconnected and interactive within a broader scope and hierarchy. On the other hand, when examining its discourse construction and interactive methods in more detail, it is also found that the public is distributed discursively. This article analyzes the logic and patterns involved in constructing the digital public sphere. The article uses documentary and digital theory, as well as interview methods. Besides, it also explores public participation patterns, discourse contest, negotiation, and integration in the context of "discursive" distribution and hierarchical "connection," and proposes the potential of the digital public sphere and initiatives to address new challenges. Additionally, this paper uses qualitative research analysis and case analysis methods for analysis. Furthermore, the limitation of this article is that it relies heavily on document descriptions for analysis and qualitative descriptions. There may be a lack of some substantive cases, which is also a limitation. The main contribution of this article is to describe the content theme of digital public sphere education.
