| | Propaganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In fact, advertising and public relations can be thought of as propaganda that promotes a commercial product or shapes the perception of an organization, person, or brand, though in post-WWII usage the word "propaganda" more typically refers to political or nationalist uses of these techniques, or to the promotion of a set of ideas. |
 | | Propaganda, in this sense, serves as a corollary to censorship in which the same purpose is achieved, not by filling people's minds with approved information, but by preventing people from being confronted with opposing points of view. |
 | | White propaganda generally comes from an openly identified source, and is characterized by gentler methods of persuasion, such as standard public relations techniques and one-sided presentation of an argument. |
