Overton window
The
Overton window
, also known as the
window of discourse
, is the range of ideas the public will accept. It is used by media
pundits
.
The term is derived from its originator,
Joseph P. Overton
(1960–2003),
a former vice president of the
Mackinac Center for Public Policy
,
who in his description of his window claimed that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within the window, rather than on politicians' individual preferences.
