Proposal 1
[edit]I'd like to propose something like:
Propaganda - any type of communication ultimately directed to a large public, whose message seeks a reaction, in terms of opinion or behavior, according to one's interests, cause or ideas. --20:49, 28 August 2006 User:212.151.237.42
Proposal 2
[edit]I'd like be more specific, though I am not sure how to word it.
'Propaganda Media' used in war/conflict/ which is meant to build or destroy confidence.
'Propaganda' in a true form is an outright lie. --10:09, 19 February 2008 User:123.2.75.194

[edit]No | Def | Note |
---|---|---|
1 | Speech or writing advancing one's cause or ideas, or denouncing one's opponents. | Issues: (a) not only speech or writing is propaganda, (b) propaganda is aimed at masses. |
2 | A concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. | Source: Wikipedia. Possible issue: adjectives like "partial" and "biased" may still be missing. |
