[[Mind]] Over Media: Propaganda Education for a Digital Age. New York: W.W.

It is also employed, though with differences in scale, characteristics and messages by big businesses, [[religious]] organizations, the media, TV commercials, internet memes, websites and certain individuals such as soapboxers. It is the art of [[persuasion]].

			In the [[20th century]], the English-version-term "propaganda" has been often associated with a manipulative approach, but historically, propaganda has been a '''neutral''' descriptive term of any material that promotes certain opinions. Equivalent non-English terms have also largely retained the original neutral connotation.

			A wide range of materials and media are used for conveying propaganda messages, which changed as new technologies were invented, including paintings, cartoons, posters, pamphlets, films, radio shows, TV shows, and websites. More recently, the digital age has given rise to new ways of disseminating propaganda, for example, bots and algorithms are currently being used to create computational propaganda and fake or biased news and spread it on [[social]] media. <ref>Hobbs, Renee (2020). Mind Over Media: Propaganda Education for a Digital Age. New York: W.W. Norton</ref>

			=Etymology=
			Propaganda is a modern Latin word, ablative singular feminine of the gerundive form of propagare, [[meaning]] 'to spread' or 'to propagate', thus propaganda means for that which is to be propagated. Originally this word derived from a new administrative body of the [[Catholic]] Church (congregation) created in 1622 as part of the Counter-Reformation, called the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide (Congregation for Propagating the Faith), or informally simply Propaganda. Its activity was aimed at "propagating" the Catholic faith in non-Catholic countries.

			From the 1790s, the term began being used also to refer to propaganda in [[secular]] activities. The term began taking a pejorative or negative connotation in the mid-19th century, when it was used in the political sphere. <ref>Diggs-Brown, Barbara (2011) Strategic Public Relations: Audience Focused Practice p. 48</ref>

	'''Propaganda''', commonly refered to as '''public relations''' today, is the dissemination of information aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviour of human beings; either in large numbers or of a select grouping, depending on the intention of the propagandist. The phrase entered the [[English language]] in 1718 from [[Latin]] and was originally a neutral term used to describe the dissemination of information in favour of any given cause. Since the middle of the 20th century, the term has been associated exclusively with the spreading of lies in favor of an inhumane goal, although the accusation of “propaganda” by [[politically correct]] or [[woke]] sources is often used to attack and undermine the right to [[freedom of expression]].

	While the term propaganda has today acquired a negative connotation, by association with its most manipulative examples, propaganda in its original sense was neutral and could refer to uses that were generally positive, such as public health recommendations, signs encouraging citizens to participate in a census or election, or messages encouraging persons to report crimes to law enforcement.

	During the 20th Century, however, it became a term of abuse in western countries, because it was seen to mean the intentional dissemination of false, biassed and misleading claims to support or justify political actions or ideologies.
