Whistleblower

Whistle-words Campaign Project: Let’s change the definition! What Are Your Six Words?

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words.  His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” 

We want to use this approach to change the negative definition of Whistleblower into a positive synonym.  

We've written to Microsoft and Merriam-Webster dictionary. Basically, they won't change the synonyms unless we can change the common word use. The negative synonyms that they give are: rat, snitch, tattletale, mole, spy, leaker. These need to become words like truthtellers, lamplighter, ethicist, relator,  disclosure, etc...

Therefore, WoA wants to run a campaign to offer new words and change the common usage. 

We invite you to film your six words or less. We want to make a 1-minute video. We would need you to:


Submit your 6 word story video under 60 seconds to words@whistleblowersofamerica.org, and we will post on our social media.
