1984, Chapter Five.

Working in the Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith creates pro- government fiction to supercede already published public documents.

What's interesting about his role in the propaganda department is the frequent lack of specific instruction. The narrative is generally understood and their knowledge of a dark, bureaucratic system gives them integrity to not stray from the will of Big Brother.

Consider how easy his job would be in today's digital environment, how easy to alter reality and the past.
