#NarrativeControl
I've been interested in the developments in the #media since after the invasion of #Ukraine. It seems to me that the west is trying hard to control the #narrative in it's own countries. I see different ways that this is done:
- Blocking / #censorship of media organizations (ex: blocking access to #RT/s #youtube channel)
- #Kill-lists for journalists (the Ukraine has one of these where they put names of journalists like #EvaBartlett / #EvaKBartlett)
- Making it illegal for #journalists to report (like Germany has done with #AlinaLipp)
- #Blocking people on twitter when they become popular enough and therefore threaten the #narrative (as with #ScottRitter)
- #Demonitizing videos on youtube or removing payment services for journalists
Please comment if you have suggestions for improving the list, or more examples
PS: In addition to these #restrictions on journalists, there must be a lot of initiatives to strengthen the #narrative that the west is itself creating, but i don't know much about those
