Also known as:Influence CampaignPolitical Messaging

Definition

Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a particular political cause, ideology, or point of view. In the context of media literacy and the creator economy, understanding propaganda techniques helps creators and audiences identify manipulative content, distinguish opinion from fact, and recognize when media is being used as an instrument of influence rather than information.
