Are you familiar with Manufacturing Consent?
Yup. Read the book and seen the movie.
That was the first place I learned that persuasion was science and not just an "art".
I've also read a lot of the Propaganda Model stuff.
George Lakoff, head of Cognitive Linguistics at Berkely has some GREAT insights on the subject. He's responsible for the concept of "framing".
Its powerful juju. Much more so than most people think.
And our political discourse is THICK with it.
Are you familiar with netvocates? Check out "Advantage Consultants" too.
I searched all over for a name for PR professionals managing "messaging" on discussion boards etc., and finally gave up and started calling them "memeherders" before I discovered the Netvocates thing.
I've been trying to figure out how to positively identify them. There is quite a bit of speculation as to how they would operate from 2006 when the Netvocates thing originally broke.
I wonder how many there are here...:mrgreen:
