CHAPTER

The Future of Propaganda

I would argue that we still see heaps of stuff that is supposed to make you fear things or mobilise against a group of people. That stuff is all still happening. I just think the word propaganda just isn't that useful anymore because it triggers an idea in people's minds about a thing that just doesn't really work that way anymore. But, with the amount of noise that is out there, with theamount of fake news and misinformation and disinformation, actors can still achieve exactly the same goals and outcomes as propagandists did 50 years ago. They just do it a different way. It's also happening. All right. Thanks for that.
