About Subtopic
Media Manipulation explores claims and theories that news outlets, entertainment platforms, or social media systems intentionally shape narratives, filter information, or influence public perception. This subtopic includes allegations of biased reporting, coordinated messaging, agenda-setting, censorship, framing techniques, propaganda, and the role of powerful actors in controlling information flows.
It’s a space for examining evidence, discussing competing viewpoints, and considering how media institutions may shape what audiences see — and what they don’t.
