The use of mass communications to reinforce or change public opinion, domestic or foreign. If the source is openly admitted it is known as ‘white’ propaganda; if concealed or misrepresented, as ‘black’ propaganda. Traditionally regarded in International Relations (sense 3) as the antithesis of diplomacy (sense 1) because of its noise, tendency to mendacity, and design to appeal to the people over the head of the government, propaganda is not necessarily anti-diplomatic; it all depends on its content. For example, propaganda may be used to help break an impasse in negotiations by testing the water with new ideas, or to sustain the momentum of faltering talks by ‘talking them up’. See also megaphone diplomacy. |
