Online Public Relations Thoughts

A Russian court has fined Wikipedia for failing to take down a Russian-language article about the invasion of Ukraine.  Apparently its facts do not agree with Putin's narrative that Ukraine is the aggressor in this war.  Wikipedia is resisting.  Kudos to it for upholding the right to free speech and disseminating the truth.  It could be costly for the organization because Wikipedia is challenging the Russian propaganda operation, which is far larger and better funded.  Imagine if every government were allowed to spin facts according to its political bent.  We would be living in a global Orwell  1984.  Communicators should shudder at the thought.
