Abstract

Dewey believes that communication has two meanings: transmission and sharing. Communication can build a community. The community can accommodate the opinions of individuals and form a consensus to promote democracy. He is a technological optimist and believes that the continuous development of communication technology can be better. The formation of community and public opinion will double the promotion of democracy. Its concept of technological optimism coincides with the environment in which new media are popular today. The universal use of new media in the Internet era was generally considered to be an important way to promote the democratic process and increase the political participation of the audience. The forms of public services such as government affairs microblogging and new media have also become increasingly popular. However, this paper argues that it is impossible to achieve socialist democracy from the perspective of media technology alone. There are still many problems in the political participation of audiences in the environment of new media.
