  1. Propaganda: communications to the public that are designed to influence opinion. The information may be true or false, but it is always carefully selected for its persuasive effect.

  2. Propaganda differs from persuasion in that Propaganda appeals to the emotions, while persuasion appeals to reason. Propaganda often has a negative connotation. Propaganda is often used in advertising and politics—anytime someone is trying to convince another.

  3. Name calling Glittering generalities Transfer Testimonial Plain Folks Card Stacking Band Wagon 7 Types of Propaganda

  4. BANDWAGON: • Think "getting on the bandwagon." This gives the idea that everyone is doing this, or everyone supports this person/cause, so should you.

  5. BANDWAGON: • EXAMPLE: Everyone in Lemmingtown is behind Jim Duffie for Mayor. Shouldn't you be part of this winning team?

  6. TESTIMONIAL: • This is the celebrity support of a philosophy, movement or candidate.

  7. TESTIMONIAL: • EXAMPLE: "Sam Slugger", a baseball Hall of Famer who led the pros in hitting for years, appears in a television ad supporting Mike Politico for U.S. Senate.

  8. PLAIN FOLKS: • The candidate or cause is identified with common people from everyday walks of life.

  9. Plain Folks • EXAMPLE: After a morning speech, Bill Clinton stops by McDonald's for a burger, fries, and photo-op.

  10. TRANSFER: • Use of symbols, quotes, or the images of famous people to convey a message not necessarily associated with them.

  11. TRANSFER: • An advertiser might use a flag to connect his product with patriotism.

  12. GLITTERING GENERALITIES: • Closely related to TRANSFER. A generally accepted virtue is used to stir up favorable emotions. The problem is that these words mean different things to different people and are often manipulated for the propagandist’s use.

  13. GLITTERING GENERALITIES: • EXAMPLE: An ad by a cigarette manufacturer proclaims to smokers: Don't let them take your rights away!

  14. NAME-CALLING: • This is the opposite of the GLITTERING GENERALITIES approach. Name-calling ties a person or cause to a largely perceived negative image.

  15. NAME-CALLING: • EXAMPLE: In a campaign speech to a logging company, the Congressman referred to his environmentally conscious opponent as a "tree hugger."

  16. CARD STACKING: • This device tells only part of the truth. It overemphasizes or underemphasizes to avoid issues and manipulate facts. Card stacking made include use of red herrings.

  17. CARD STACKING: • Example: CleanWhite toothpaste gets your teeth 50% cleaner. (Omitting the fact that the statistic means 50% cleaner than NOT brushing.)
