Broadcasting facts in the right places has lasting mission impacts. Countering enemy propaganda in the right places has lasting mission impacts. If misinformation can be weaponized, the truth inherently can be also.
This is also why I don’t like suggesting that Public Affairs is made up of “storytellers.” That language feels kind of folksy and degrades the seriousness of the information fight, in my opinion.
