Mass media are the methods we use to communicate with large numbers of people at one time. We live in the age of mass media, whether that’s social media, the Internet, television or even advertising. Propaganda is misinformation that is intentionally circulated through mass media with a political agenda. In the past, governments in many different parts of the world, often during times of war, have used everything from newspaper articles to movie previews to disperse propaganda. Propaganda has been used to encourage soldiers to fight under the worst conditions, to instruct civilians to ration their food during wartime, and to convince citizens to hate the enemy. This misinformation has taken form in political cartoons that depict a wartime enemy as animal-like, and in ads or posters that exaggerate the success of a war effort. The authors of propaganda try to convey their political agenda through the messages embedded in their slogans, writing, or art. Propaganda is like a political advertisement with a shaky relationship to the truth.
