ver since Roman times those with power, and those seeking power, have employed the powerful tactic of propaganda. And it’s still very much with us, only more powerful than ever thanks to our evermore invasive media environment. What is propaganda and how does it work? Defined simply as the intentional dissemination of deceitful claims or images for the purpose of manipulating the public into following the will of the propagandists, it is more important than ever that we all develop immunity to this insidious and pervasive threat to democracy. Our personal and societal freedoms are at stake.
