A public record of how narratives are built in Pakistan.
The Public Narrative Observatory watches public posts on social media and records how narratives form, spread and are pushed. It publishes what it observes, with the method and the date, so that anyone can check it.
What we observe
We collect public posts from X and Reddit. More platforms will follow.
We study narratives: the phrases, claims and framings that travel together, how fast they spread, and whether that spread looks organic or coordinated.
We do not profile private individuals. Where a narrative is pushed by accounts, we describe the pattern, not the people.
How we work
- Every claim shows its method and its date.
- A threshold is published before it is used. Nothing is flagged by editorial judgement alone.
- Corrections stay visible. A finding that changes says what changed and when.
- When we do not know something, we say so, at the same size as everything else.
Independence and funding
The Observatory is independent. It has no government, party or platform affiliation, and takes no money from any of them.
It is currently funded by its founders. When that changes, the Funding page will list every source.
Who we are
The Observatory does not publish the names of the people who run it. Its work is meant to be judged by its method and its data, which are public, not by who is behind it.
