Abstract :
The crisis of public opinion has been discussed many times by a philosopher, who has made together all the other philosophers thoughts about this topic. He is the German philosopher Jurgen Habermas. He makes a deep analysis of Hegel, Marx, Mill and Toucqueville thinking without avoiding the history of public opinion development. Although Habermas distances from his mentors Adorno and Horckheimer thought, often we see their influence on his analysis. Habermas is placed very well on the line of those researchers, historians and sociologists, who have the merit, from ‘20s of ‘900s, to highlight the extraordinary character of public opinion in our time. To understand the public opinion crisis I will show in this article what the reasons of this crisis according to Habermas are and who has replaces which. During this article will be treated the culture industry subject and the newspapers and editorial role on the public opinion crisis. The issue consist on the fact that where the public opinion, in the past, could be characterized as a process of spontaneous, autonomous and free (at the intellectual elites of the 700s and 800s), with the advent of the mass society, the impact of communication tools becomes increasingly longer relevant and deep, the autonomy of public opinion coming from outside becomes a fact clear and undisputable.
