That part of a government tasked with generating and distributing Propaganda. In the middle of the 20th Century, the Nazi government was quite adept at this and it was called "The Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda."
There are some today that believe terrorist groups are attempting to copy this approach to further their causes.
The function of this ministry (deparment of state), headed by Goebbels, was to form public opinion in Nazi Germany. Its functions extended to all the media, including the press, the radio and cinema. It also played a key role in censorship. However, it often also ordered the media to publish (or announce) news in specific ways. This ministry organized exhibitions of 'degenerate art, and took over responsibility for training journalists. It also monitored public opinion. I hope this answer helps. Joncey

"Propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people... Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea."

Following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels. The Ministry's aim was to ensure that the Nazi message was successfully communicated through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, educational materials, and the press.
