Narrative control

Limiting debatable narrative

Description

Narrative control is the strategic management of information, messaging, and storytelling to shape public perception, influence attitudes, and direct discourse toward desired outcomes. This approach involves selecting, emphasizing, or omitting facts to remedy misinformation, counteract harmful narratives, or promote cohesion around specific goals. Practically, it is used by organizations, governments, and movements to address reputational risks, mobilize support, and mitigate the impact of adversarial or destabilizing narratives.
