Semantics and ethics of propaganda
Journal of Mass Media Ethics 16 (2 & 3):121 – 137 (2001)
| Abstract | This article explores shifting definitions of propaganda, because how we define the slippery enterprise determines whether we perceive propaganda to be ethical or unethical. I also consider the social psychology and semantics of propaganda, because our ethics are shaped by and reflect our belief systems, values, and language behaviors. Finally, in the article I redefine propaganda in a way that should inform further studies of the ethics of this pervasive component of modern society. | |||||||||
