Propaganda Please copy the following definition into your English notebook under “Literary Terms”

Propaganda Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular point of view, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate how one thinks, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist.
