Public Spheres are defined as geographical, textual, or technological sites and forums that are accessible to people, invite their participation, and provide opportunities for that participation.
Here are some examples that I've found:
Church: you talk about ideas here for the community, the preacher preaches about the bible and gives us knowledge about Christ.
Newspapers: you read about people's thoughts and feelings on different issues(Obama, taxes, etc).
Library: most have a bulletin board for community activities; such as children's book night, puppet shows, and the adult reading group. It has a quiet, calm feeling to it so people there can read books either for fun or for research.
News Channels: Has information about the weather, local and global problems are discussed.
Barber shop: Some have bulletin board for vehicles for sale and/or animals for sale. Gossip is found here too.
Bulletin boards at USI: tells about ways to help students study, where an activity is located, where to find help for studying purposes, and ways to help pay for college.
Sidewalk chalk at USI: tells what different groups and/or activities are going on at USI for the week and/or that day.
