Committee on Public Information, set up by executive order of President Woodrow Wilson, 14 April 1917. Formally it consisted of the secretaries of state, war, and the navy, with the journalist George Creel as civilian chairman. The committee was responsible for uniting American support behind the World War I effort. Creel, handling most of the work, plus a far-flung organization abroad and at home, presented the war issues with pamphlets, films, cables, posters, and speakers (known as Four-Minute Men). The committee's sophisticated use of propaganda became a model for future government efforts to shape mass opinion.
"Four Minute Men" was the name given to a vast network of volunteers in America who gave speeches to the public about the war. Their speeches were usually made in four minutes or less (hence the name) and were provided to them by the Committee on Public Information. As long as they got the given message across, the Four Minute Men were allowed to personalize their talks to give them character and so they could tailor it to their specific community. By the end of 1917, there was about 15,000 speakers scattered around the country.
