Propaganda in WWIThe birth of modern Psychological

OperationsInstitute for Propaganda Analysis 1938

What is Propaganda? Propaganda is a message

aimed at influencing an opinion. Spread an opinion.

One of the methods used in Psy Ops.

Why do we use Propaganda? Each of the nations in WWI

used propaganda. They used posters to:

1. justify their involvement to their own people.

2. To recruit men into the Armed forces

3. To raise money and resources

4. To urge conservation of resources.

5. Demoralize the enemy.

Why Posters?Television had not

yet been inventedNot everyone

owned or had access to a radio

Mass printing made it very efficient.

Propaganda uses Seven Techniques to get their message

across

1. Name Calling: hanging a bad label on an idea, symbolized by a hand turning thumbs down;

2. Card Stacking Most of the information presented is true, but key facts are left out.

What key facts do you think are left off this propaganda?

3. Testimonial .Associates a

respected person or someone with experience to endorse a cause by giving it their stamp of approval.

4. Plain Folks Attempts to convince

the audience that the spokesperson is from humble origins, someone they can trust and who has their interests at heart.

Sometimes uses accents or dialect of the intended audience.

5. Transfer Transfers authority of

something we respect and revere to something the author would have us accept.

Propagandists often employ symbols (e.g., waving the flag) to stir our emotions and win our approval.

6. Glittering Generality

Broad statements (often slogans or simple catchphrases) using language associated with values and beliefs deeply held by the audience.

They appeal to such notions as honor, glory, love of country, desire for peace, freedom, and family values.

7. Band Wagon- Creates the impression

that everybody is doing it, you should too!

- It reinforces the human desire to be on the winning side.
