Propaganda Universe
Propaganda has become the dominant form of public discourse in the information age. Propaganda Universe is dedicated to helping citizens, journalists, scholars, and policy-makers understand the nature of propaganda, disinformation, and information warfare in order to identify and resist manipulative communication. Preserving our ability to think independently, both as individuals and as a society, is crucial to being able to decide what is in our own best interests and not those of others.

Propaganda Defined!
In previous episodes of Propaganda Universe, we've discussed the difficulty in defining propaganda and why it is a perplexing paradigm. Because of this "definitional fog", propaganda remains a vague concept that is used in whatever ways that suits the user of the term. This is a cause for confusion as to what propaganda is, which complicates its study and prevents us from having a full comprehension of how it functions. In this episode, we provide a clear and unambiguous definition of propaganda.
