The two sources I found regarding the definition of
the word "grey" have a number reference to refer to, but for a definition
that does not refer to the color of the hair, that number is a "5."
The indication is that the word "grey" as a
"noun" connotes another kind of attribute that can indicate a government
transparency reference as it does in the
merriam-webster.com, but collinsdictionary.com references the "dull and boring" aspect of a multifaceted word
However, when used as a verb, the
"grey" word denotes the color.
The word "secrecy" is a noun—the
merriam-webster.com source, defines the word "secrecy" the same as
cambridge.org, using examples of how the word
"secrecy" refers specifically to government, but dictionary.com
used an example of the word "secrecy" that can connote the openness
of a corporate entity, as it isn't always just government that seeks the full
definition of the word "secrecy" to keep employees and/or outsiders
ignorant of the corporate ethos.
Why define the words "grey" and
"secrecy"?
The 21st century's year 2024, is an election year, and my research sources have indicated the definition of those two words "grey" and "secrecy" can offer an insight as to how these particular words are used by journalists to indicate their point of view.
Sadly, my research also indicates we are currently in an
era when major media may not always present the news without a POV.
Therefore, my conclusion is that a reader cannot always trust an article purporting
to refer to a news report is unbiased, thus the
definitions I've researched can alert a reader as to whether the reported news is a journalists' altered opinion interpretation of the event.
