The article begins by undertaking an extended survey of the normative model of the public sphere, as outlined by Jürgen Habermas, and takes account of his later work on the centrality of the deliberative process to the public sphere. In the second half, the article applies Held's conceptions of the role of government communication in the strengthening of deliberative democracy, and attempts to make normative arguments about certain forms of government communication. In doing so, it addresses three areas: the problems with the standing "lobby" system of briefing journalists in the UK; ways in which government communication might be held to greater account in the public sphere; ways in which the improved communication of Parliament might impact upon deliberative democracyČlanek obravnava teorije deliberativne demokracije, javne sfere in vladno komuniciranje ter raziskuje, na kakšne načine bi lahko vladno komuniciranje okrepilo deliberativno demokracijo v širšem kontekstu novinarstva. Članek se začenja s proučevanjem Habermasovega normativnega modela javne sfere in upošteva njegovega poznejšega dela o središčnem pomenu posvetovalnega procesa v javni sferi. V drugem delu aplicira Heldovo pojmovanje o vlogi vladnega komuniciranja v krepitvi posvetovalne demokracije in poskuša postaviti normativne argumente glede nekaterih oblik vladnega komuniciranja. Pri tem obravnava tri področja: težave z obstoječim lobističnim sistemom pojasnjevanja novinarjem v Veliki Britaniji; načine, kako bi lahko vlada komunicirala, da bi bila bolj upoštevana v javni sferi; ter načine, kako bi lahko izboljšano komuniciranje parlamenta vplivalo na posvetovalno demokracijoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
