A developing news story will require immediate P.I.B. intervention to provide 'necessary context' and 'clarifications.' Prepare to issue multiple press releases that subtly reframe the initial narrative to align with official positions.
Journalist queries will focus on the implicit rather than the explicit, requiring artful dodging and redirection to the pre-approved talking points. Emphasise stability and ongoing progress in all responses.
By day's end, the intended official version of events will be widely disseminated, effectively overshadowing the initial, less favourable, reports, achieved through strategic timing and repetition.
