Ministry of propaganda

(Redirected from Propaganda Department)

A ministry of propaganda (also agency, bureau or department of propaganda) is the part of a government charged with generating and distributing propaganda.

Though governments routinely engage in propaganda,[1] ministries or departments with the word "propaganda" in their name have become progressively rarer since the end of World War II, after the term took on its present negative connotation. Instead of using the word "propaganda", governments today often use the terms "public relations", "psychological operations", "education", "advertising", or simply "information".
