Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 26 Dec 2024 - Retraction

 

Retraction

Official correction of potentially embarrassing research, misleading studies, or news reports, depending on the level of positive/negative impact on the Ministry of Truth agenda.  However, criticism should be ignored if it initially received positive press, and message clarification would bring too much adverse attention, since it is better to quietly retro-edit original history (as many online and print publications do) when there is an error.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 07 Feb 2024 - Reporting Stylebook

 

Reporting Stylebook

The Ministry of Truth has published a guiding light for journalism which bans certain words and encourages journalists to be as precise and accurate as possible by using the approved Newspeak vocabulary.  For example, media influencers should reject descriptions such as "undocumented", because it is not precise (and is also harmful).  Such a person may have plenty of documents, just not the ones required for legal residence.  One should only use "illegal" to refer to an action, not a person, and should be cautious about describing people as having violated immigration laws without attribution. If required, they should describe how laws were violated and who determined the behavior to be unlawful.  Words matter!

Known Untrue Things

Journalists can't allow known mis/disinformation to even be heard, since its very existence is damaging to society.  Debates of settled Truth cannot be tolerated or disputed, because it has been declared to be so by the media, in lockstep with the Ministry of Truth.
