Hub Candidate: Vietnam War Media Coverage Hub
Covers: 6-7 concept pages on Vietnam War specific media failures and bounds
Pages to include:
- Vietnam War Institutional Narrative (meta-frame for all Vietnam coverage)
- Tet Offensive Media Coverage (major case: accuracy within bounds)
- Tonkin Gulf Incident Media Coverage (sourcing asymmetry case)
- Paris Peace Agreements Misinterpretation (authority bias case)
- Bounds of Controversy (what questions were/weren't asked in Vietnam)
- Pentagon Information Apparatus (infrastructure enabling Vietnam narratives)
- Narrative Premise as Meta-Filter (the "defending democracy" frame that made strategic questions unaskable)
Hub structure:
- Core Concepts: Institutional Narrative, Bounds of Controversy
- Developed Concepts: Tet Offensive, Pentagon Apparatus
- Developing Concepts: Tonkin Gulf, Paris Peace, Narrative Premise
Why build: Vietnam War is the primary empirical case study in Manufacturing Consent. These 7 pages trace the specific mechanisms (sourcing, bounds, narrative premise) operating across the war's coverage. A hub organizes the case study arc and shows how filters operated in practice.
Status: Ready for build. All component pages exist with stable content. This hub cross-links with Five-Filter hub (the mechanisms applied to a specific case).
