The web is not quite the democratic space it was expected to become; there is too much noise on it today, and a new e–zine must justify itself. Phalanx is intended as a platform for debate, and it presumes there will be interested readers and writers without its having to make itself heard above the tumult.
It will not induce people to join its debates because there is too much inducement on the web, the general commotion being attributable to a throng of voices. Moreover, those joining debates need to have been persuaded about the importance of argument. Phalanx offers itself as a platform for reasoned debate and hopes that it will fulfill, if only in a small way, the democratic promise of the web.
