What is Propaganda?
And why do we care?
• Propaganda designers have been putting messages into
television commercials, news programs, magazine ads,
and other things we read and see for years. These
messages have been carefully designed to influence our
opinions, emotions, attitudes and behavior. Their
purpose is to persuade us to believe in
something or to do something that we would not
normally believe or do. These messages have been
designed to benefit someone, and that someone may
not be you!
Is everything we see and hear propaganda?
• No, it is not. The word propaganda refers to any
technique that attempts to influence the opinions,
emotions, attitudes, or behavior of a group in order to
benefit the sponsor. The techniques of propaganda
are used every day, in the military, in the media, in
advertising, in politics, and in all sorts of human
relationships.
• It's not as easy as you might think to spot hidden
messages. Propaganda designers know you are on your
guard. To get around your guard, they don't put one
message into a piece of propaganda - they put lots of
messages into each piece! The more you know about
propaganda techniques and how they work, the less likely
it is that someone will sneak something by you!
Types of Propaganda Techniques
• Why is this ad effective?
• What propaganda technique is used
in this ad?
Plain folks appeal
How is this similar
to the Subway ad?
How is it also
using the “hidden
fears” propaganda
technique?
Desert Shield, 1990/1991
Which technique does this use?
• This image of Saddam Hussein was
designed as a wanted poster, on light
weigh paper, for airdrop distribution.
What was its purpose? We'll tell you this
one, to start you thinking like a
psychological warfare analyst. This
piece of propaganda was created
to redirect the guilt, if any, felt by
Iraqi soldiers, and to encourage
them to blame everything bad on
Saddam Hussein since he is a
criminal. Thus, they might not
fight with as much enthusiasm or
determination.
