| Term | Definition |

| Public Sphere | the space in which media can play a part in encouraging dialogue between the public and those in power |
| Shareability | This term refers to the fact that the more a story is likely to be shared by users, the more it will be visible; therefore stories need to have elements that encourage people to want to share them. |
