As you likely know, Propaganda originally referred to literature designed to propagate the Catholic faith. Evangelistic Christian churches still produce propaganda.

Other example are government, especially dictatorships, which typically produce untrue and favorable explanations for every controversial action.

Closer to home examples occur in advertising. Advertisers have 100's of methods of showing their product is better than competing products even when unbiased consumer research indicates their product is about the same or worse than competition. The term "spin doctor" is used to describe someone hired to produce propaganda for a company or organization. Politicians generate propaganda in almost every press release or public speech. There is even propaganda in history text books with choice of subjects and the slant taken in the exposition. This is most obvious in some countries than in others.
