Brym and Lie argue that the internet has the potential to make the mass media more democratic as it provides a platform for individuals to express their opinions and views, and it allows for a greater diversity of voices and perspectives to be heard. However, they note that this is only true for those who have access to the internet and can afford it, and that there are still issues of unequal access and power that need to be addressed.
