 * Article title
 * Political Marketing and Propaganda: Uses, Abuses, Misuses
 * https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15377857.2014.866018?scroll=top&needAccess=true


 * Article Evaluation
 * This seems like a very interesting journal, its talking about the use and abuse of propaganda and gives examples of how propaganda has been used in the past by various organizations like the military, in public diplomacy programs, and by companies, not-for-profit organizations, and even terrorist groups all for the same purpose, to win over their audience and gain traction in spreading their ideals to the public. I think its is very interesting because of the various different groups and ideas that are all being spread through propaganda and it shows the ones that worked well and the ones that were abusing propaganda.

 * Article title
 * Fending off Fake News: Identifying and Analyzing Propaganda in Imagery
 * https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00377996.2021.1921680


 * Article Evaluation
 * I like this article as well because of number one the title, I like that it says fending off fake news and kinda think that's a catchy name, but I really like the article because it analyzes different uses of propaganda in history and is a way to teach people about how to be better critical consumers of propaganda and how to see propaganda for what it really is, rather than just being spoon fed the information that is in the propaganda. the article focused on image based propaganda and I see this as an important aspect of the article because a lot of propaganda during world war 2 was just that, posters and other various things that were seen over and over by the public and kind of trains people to think in certain ways.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * If Seals Were Ugly, Nobody Would Give a Damn: Propaganda, Nationalism, and Political Marketing in the Canadian Seal Hunt
 * https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15377857.2014.866026


 * Article Evaluation
 * I like this article because it is about one particular scenario and is more of a deeper dive into that particular scenario. I like this because it is able to analyze the situation in a deeper way than some of the other articles that I selected. It goes into different forms of propaganda that was used by the Canadian government in their seal hunt and I think this is particularly useful because it shows how people may use different types of propaganda in various ways to continue to get their point across.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * They Come over Here … 300 Years of Xenophobic Propaganda in England
 * https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15377857.2014.866025


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think this is a really interesting article because it is talking about the use of propaganda from the 16th century to the 18th century, before it was even labeled as propaganda. I think this would be an interesting article mainly because of the different techniques that were used back then and how they were able to use propaganda back in that era. I also think that it would be interesting to compare these forms of propaganda to more modern forms of propaganda and how they may have ended up being successful or unsuccessful.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Online propaganda use during Islamist radicalization
 * https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2019.1594333


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a very interesting article as well because of the perspective of the article, it is viewing the propaganda from an internal view. the article has many interviews with radicalized Muslim prisoners and former Islamists in Germany and Austria. the results of the studies were that several types of propaganda are used in sequence as individuals undergo cognitive and behavioral radicalization. I think this can be interesting because it is analyzing what had worked in transitioning those people into believing what the propaganda was selling. This is different from almost all of the other articles that I had seen and I think that it can show how propaganda can be successful.
