State of Deception: The
Power of Nazi Propaganda Steven Luckert +
Susan Bachrach
Propaganda
is generally associated with Nazi Germany & brutal regimes in fascist Italy
and the Soviet Union state controlled or greatly restricted public access to
information & dictated what could or could not be disseminated to the
public through the press, film, radio & the arts.
'All
propaganda is lies, even when one is telling the truth' George Orwell[1]
The
meaning of propaganda has changed over time, the catholic church attempted to
rid Protestantism during the Counter Reformation in 16th & 17th centuries,
and by doing this used propaganda that was against Protestant religion. The use
of the word propaganda changed from religious to political and has been characterised
as a form of mass communication and persuasion developed in modern
society.
'A
systematic process of information management geared to promoting a particular
goal and to guaranteeing a popular response as desired by the propagandist'
Aristotle A. Kallis[2]
Propaganda
simplifies complicated issues or ideology for mass communication, it is always
biased, and is geared towards achieving a particular end.
Propaganda
isn't always successful, the effectiveness of it depends on the receptivity of
an audience to its message and favourable social context. Propaganda didn't get
its recognition until World War 1.

The
propagandist gives out ply information that backs their own point and
consciously omits contrary information.
