The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is in search of a contractor to build a database and dashboard to monitor hundreds of thousands of news organizations and journalists - and even to determine their “sentiment.”
An April 3 contract listing on a government-run federal business opportunities website seeks "media monitoring services" for the DHS. Already, at least seven companies have applied for the DHS contract. It is unclear how much the contract pays.
=================================================
Somehow this reminds me of George Orwell's 1984 & Winston Smith working at his position in the Ministry of Truth. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Smith
Orwell missed the date in his title by a few years.
