Example of An Open Campaign
Greenpeace is using "open campaign" as part of its activism effort, with the willingness to be transparent down to the merest tactical details, although there may be some situations where some of these are hidden to provide some element of surprise. It assumed that propaganda techniques (even via cultural bias), are ineffective, counter-productive or simply will not be believed. Thus one does not have report every uncomfortable detail, merely be a more reliable reporter than the opposition and be heard out to ultimately be more trusted than the opposing agents. See the act.Greenpeace.org service for an example of open campaigning, mostly using email campaigns. In this context,
- Wikipedia is arguably an open campaign to create an online encyclopedia.
- Meta is arguably an open campaign to govern an online encyclopedia.
- MeatballWiki is arguably an open campaign to improve virtual community and especially wiki governance.
- Disinfopedia is an open campaign to disclose propaganda techniques and participants.
- Consumerium is an open campaign to implement moral purchasing.
- OpenCampaign is an online petition campaign management software.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or campaign:
“The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,—he knows not for what.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The winter is to a woman of fashion what, of yore, a campaign was to the soldiers of the Empire.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
