Propaganda through media

Propaganda is a form of communication that is primarily intended to influence the attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors of a large audience. It is typically associated with the selective presentation of information, emotional appeals, and persuasive techniques designed to shape public opinion. While propaganda is often linked to political contexts, it can also appear in advertising, media, and other forms of mass communication. Scholars such as Edward Bernays have emphasized the role of propaganda in modern society as a tool for shaping public perception and managing collective behavior.
