When I think of propaganda, I think of a terrifying manipulation of a massive group of people. It also seems so absurd that people would buy into such blatant misinformation especially when you look at propaganda posters from WWII time. However last week, I started an IndieGoGo page, and I begin to question: could this be propaganda too? Although my intention is not to mislead anyone who reads my page, I was making choices of what information should be included and how to word it in order to get the maximum amount of empathy/interest and therefore funding. So in that sense it certainly is propaganda. I realized propaganda isn't always negative. I question, if this is a form of propaganda, where else does propaganda live in the way we communicate?
