In the space provided, discuss the purpose of propaganda in the media and explain how it is created.

In the media, propaganda comes in many forms. Corporate “propaganda” can be utilized to influence a consumer’s spending habits by exclusively promoting a product or brand. Political propaganda is used in the more conventional way, carefully shaping the public’s view of a candidate or government with targeted ads, manicured television segments, and a carefully-portrayed persona. Whether in support or opposition of a corporation, government, or individual, propaganda is a dangerous and useful tool for impacting the public perspective.
