Propaganda In Politics

Before I synthesize my peer reviewed article, I must disclose that suggestions I have that will enhance the relevancy and richness of information regarding Propaganda in politics. There has been a long standing relationship between politics and propaganda, the article dates back as early as the B.C. time era. Once we started seeing the correlation between the two and being aware what was going on was early in the 19th century. The historical context is very important when studying the relationship of propaganda and politics but also to show if this in a increase and also how? What factors are contributing to an increase or decrease in propaganda in politics. The article is rich with knowledge and information that lead up to the 21st century, which proves how deep the influence propaganda has on politics. So I would argue that this article lack of information dating from the 2016 election to today hurts and harms the article's reputation. As well as jeopardizes the neutrality that this article and Wikipedia uphold. There has been an ample amount of propaganda in politics since the 2016 election. Besides going in length the interference that the Russians had on our 2016 election, and exposing such propaganda that was associated with that could make this more relevant. Additionally, the propaganda Americans witnessed the 2020 election and the use of social media. Social media was weaponized to incite extremists in attempt to spark a mass act of chaos. We have never seen such fireworks when it has came down to a presidential election. This year we have seen propaganda utilized with social media to entice radicals to storm the white house, unlike no act we have ever seen endorsed by a president. Since 2016, One party and one administration was in office. The lack of new current information pertaining to the use of propaganda can be viewed in the eyes of some as not a neutral actor. The lack of information since one individual came into office seems like some either cant see the propaganda or are unable to call it out because of affiliation. Lastly, the current updates and additions in this article on the latest example of propaganda in politics would enhance the history context and the correlation on the topic between the two sides.

Organizational Propaganda On The Internet

This article I have chose to use to show a correlation in the increase of propaganda because of the rate the internet can facilitate issues across the world. Before demonstrating the spike in propaganda, this article discusses the need for corporations and organizations to draw a line between public relations and propaganda. The need stems from the acceleration of news speed and the lengths it can spread due to the global linkage the internet provides. This article evaluates the influence of organizational propaganda online with the 5 W's, "who employs propaganda, to whom, on which channels, which media are used (where), the objectives of the propaganda strategy (why), and in which contexts it occurs (when), (Ludolph, Lock 2019)". These different questions can lead to the ability to differentiate between PR and propaganda, which will allow consumers the ability and function to draw a line. Through these findings, it was revealed that those organizations that spread propaganda were not trying to hide their identity, they were bold and some what unapologetic. In the digital times we live in, we must be able to classify between the two or have ethical online organizations that believing in not spread unethical, false, or insufficient information. This article address the increase in lack of accountability, unethical practices, and the lack of overview on these propaganda issues from organizations. A proposed solution is a type of agency that can oversee the different types of organization PR and determine if its unethical or ethical, justifiable or unjustifiable, also direct or indirect communication. This article correlates with our overall topic of the history of Propaganda in politics and the increase of propaganda because of instruments like social media. The need for an agency to oversee the information being spread is not only needed in organization but also in politics so we can assure our consumers are getting accurate, ethical, and real messages. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2046147X19870844
