520 3 |a This paper repositions Benjamin Franklin not merely as a satirist or statesman, but as a pioneering media strategist who shaped public discourse—for the common good—through calculated textual placement and carefully crafted authenticity proxies. It argues that Franklin’s gentle humor and biting political commentary were not distinct phases but part of a continuous, adaptive rhetorical strategy. As printer and publisher, he curated news from content to layout, developing a keen sense of audience engagement. His hoaxes—strategically timed, fabricated news delivered through credible proxies—exemplify this mastery. By foregrounding Franklin’s manipulation of format, venue, and rhetorical disguise, the study reframes him as a master of ideological marketing.
