Detailed explanation-1: -Propaganda is the dissemination of information-facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths, or lies-to influence public opinion. Deliberateness and a relatively heavy emphasis on manipulation distinguish propaganda from casual conversation or the free and easy exchange of ideas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The media has the ability to exploit persuasive tactics to the specific definition of propaganda: the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person. Indeed, as we have shown, this does not have to be the “in your face, ” World War II propaganda.
Detailed explanation-3: -The propaganda effect is when a subject is more likely to rate statements they have read or heard before as being true, simply because they have been exposed to them before (p. 171).
Detailed explanation-4: -Two examples of propaganda include the Uncle Sam army recruitment posters from World War I or the Rosie the Riveter poster from World War II. Both examples use symbols to represent strength and a sense of urgency as they encourage United States citizens to join the war effort.
