Propaganda in World War I

"Advertising is not deceiving people, they only help deceive themselves." (Eric Hoffer). Propaganda is a broad way to persuade something, and may become an advertisement every time you contact publicity. Another way to use propaganda in countries around the world is during wartime. It is not necessary to use wartime propaganda. Trust and hostility

UK publicity during the First World War was known as "Impressive Improvisation Practice", but it rapidly expanded at the beginning of the war, and journalist Charles Masman exerted full leadership and the government It was ruled by (the home of Wellington). . On September 2, 1914, when Masterman invited 25 famous British writers to the Wellington building and discussed ways to maximize British interests during the war, the agency gave a publicity campaign started. Participants included William Archer, Arthur Conan Doyle, Arnold Bennett, John Macefield, Ford Maddox Ford, G. K. Chesterton, Henry New Bolt, John Gulworthy, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Gilbert Parker, G M. Trevelynan and H. G. Wells

The amount of publicity that occurred during the First World War is unprecedented. Its new complexity is the result of extensive and rapid experiments and activities. In the years after the end of the war, the propaganda produced in the UK appeared particularly effective and influenced the attitude of the world. In the UK itself, the use of propaganda was considered deceptive and morally destructive. Public perception of war has diversified in the 1920s and 1930s. This view is reflected in Sir Ponsonby's book "Falsehood during War" published in 1928.

The US government initially did not enter the idea of ​​propaganda. This was due to their advertising activities during the First World War, which left a bad taste to American citizens. The United States adopted the "Truth Strategy" which will publish information but will not affect the public perception of war. Agencies were created to help you write promotions and distribute. The two largest institutions involved are the Writers' War Commission and the American War Information Bureau. The Writer War Committee is responsible for writing the actual propaganda and is composed of notorious American writers. The United Nations War Information Bureau has one purpose. It is to promote as much as possible. Agencies promote through Hollywood studios, radios and posters. This institution succeeded but disbanded after the end of the war in September 1945.
