In a short period of time we have gone from a print dominated news media to a multi-media nation. No longer can powerful newspaper editors like Hearst and Pulitzer control public opinion. Now, anyone with text messaging can instantly produce misinformation. The danger should be apparent, but our awareness is sadly lacking. The media has a definite ability to change the course of history. It does well to pay attention to when it is being honest and when it is being manipulative. This book presents a history of the use of propaganda to sway public opinion for better or worse so that we might recognize when it is being employed as a positive or negative influence on our society, and hopefully respond accordingly.
