Abstract

Although, the reasoned and open debate that results in the formation of public opinion is a defining feature of Habermas' notion of the public sphere. However, because of the clustering of people and their exposure to similar concepts and ideas, there will be less conversation and conflict of votes on Persian Twitter, and if there is, it will be illogical and reasoned. This study aims to discover and explore the distinctive traits and features of users who are scattered among the network's major poles and enable communication. We determined brokers' exact activities and utterances by optimizing centrality indicators and categorizing their tweets using a social media critical discourse analysis approach. Finally, after summarising and concluding, we demonstrated how the brokers' words and deeds parallel Habermas' theory of communicative action. We deduced that if the user applies the criteria suggested in the theory of communicative action, they will most likely function as a mediator or facilitator of communication in a distinct and unrelated cluster rather than in the midst of the communication stream, which is connected to other clusters.
