(2) When political scientists discuss various audiences and especially “attentive publics,” an image sometimes invoked is a Roman amphitheater. Inside it policy makers (called gladiators) conduct their rhetorical duels about plans and processes to change the political order. The men and women sitting in tiers watching the combatants are spectators, those “attentive publics” without whose applause and support of one side or the other the policy wonks go nowhere. Outside the arena Romans and foreigners wander about absorbed in other things. Some are near enough to hear the buzz and noises of the gladiators and the cheers or boos of the spectators. Others are too far away. Some outside the arena would go in if they had the time or money--or if someone would come out and invite them in. Many are so far away that they do not know that a game salient to them is being played. How  bring those outside the amphitheater inside? How convert the non-attentive or apathetic into attentive publics?
