Propaganda is any information which is disseminated for the purpose of influencing an audience in order to further a cause or agenda. Propaganda frequently selectively presents facts, half-truths, and lies, and is often emotionally charged. In form and content, propaganda can vary widely. It can range from simple slogans to sophisticated media such as visual arts, books, movies, and the like. It usually comprises signs and symbols which seek to simplify issues and remove nuances. Propaganda may be produced by governments as well as activist groups, religious organizations, corporations, the media, and other individual interests. Propaganda is especially common in wartime, and may constitute part of psychological warfare.

Propaganda is any information which is disseminated for the purpose of influencing an audience in order to further a cause or agenda. Propaganda frequently selectively presents facts, half-truths, and lies, and is often emotionally charged. In form and content, propaganda can vary widely. It can range from simple slogans to sophisticated media such as visual arts, books, movies, and the like. It usually comprises signs and symbols which seek to simplify issues and remove nuances. Propaganda may be produced by governments as well as activist groups, religious organizations, corporations, the media, and other individual interests. Propaganda is especially common in wartime, and may constitute part of psychological warfare.

The Office of Naval Intelligence produces large amounts of propaganda. ONI Section Two is responsible for external communication and public morale, a role which in practice involves the creation and spread of propaganda.[1] One of its most notable propaganda exercises was ONI Directive 930, which mandated that all SPARTAN-II soldiers be listed as missing in action or wounded in action rather than killed in action.[2] ONI propaganda stated that the United Nations Space Command won the Battle of Ballast.[3]

During the Battle of Mombasa in 2552, Secretary of Defense Paul Huphy Russel and Minister of Information David Dockmaster Dunn both released propaganda messages for the citizens of New Mombasa.[4] Public service announcer Stephen also broadcast propaganda from NMPD headquarters during the battle.[5]

According to Petra Janecek, the Press Corps is synonymous with the dissemination of propaganda.[6]

Following the Human-Covenant War, the group Sapien Sunrise spread propaganda opposing the 2558 Sangheili peace talks lead by Richard Sekibo.[7]
