The media reports the facts, or at least is suppossed to. Propoganda aims at presenting a positive image on the homefront and a negative image to the opponnents front and truth can be twisted or warped to suit the needs of the moment.
"Rosie the Riveter" was one of the best-known symbols of government propaganda to attract women workers during World War 2. She represented the women who worked in factories and shipyards to support the war effort while the men were away fighting.
Those are the basic tools for going into war. The average natural born citizen in any country is continuously indoctrinated into the national culture starting about the time they begin understanding the meaning of words. If you control those tools, you are ready for a war.
Propaganda was used both positive and negative during WW1. The reason why is because propaganda was used to get and recruit more men to participate in the war, and fight for their own country. The other side of the propaganda was used to insult or make a bad reputation at their enemy, so more supporters would be on their side to fight the enemy.
Committee on Public Information (CPI) -It was a government agency during World War I that sought to shape public opinion in support of the war effort through newpapers, pamphlets, speeches, films, and other media.
