“The propagandist must utilize all of the technical means at his disposal - the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, meetings, door-to-door canvassing...There is no propaganda as long as one makes use, in a sporadic fashion and at random, of a newspaper article here, a poster or radio program there.” MeanLongUseDoorsFashionTvsProgramPressesMeetingsRadioNewspapersPropagandaArticlesPostersPropagandistSporadicCanvassing Author:Jacques Ellul
“In the mid-1980s, however, the Estonian TV programmers came up with a clever idea: they asked Moscow for millions of rubles to make propaganda in Estonia to fight the Finnish programs' popularity. They got millions from the government, but what they made was not propaganda at all! They simply made good, entertaining programs - no one in Estonia recognized them as propaganda, only Russia thought it was, so they got away with it. Of course, Russia provided their own propaganda programs, but Estonians knew to avoid them.” MadeIdeasGovernmentFightingCoursesMillionsTvsProgramRussiaCleverPropagandaEntertainingPopularityProgrammersMoscowFinnishEstoniaEstonians Author:Jaak Kilmi

“Before I went to Escuela Caribe, my parents showed me the school's brochures featuring smiling kids at the beach or on horseback. The propaganda was greatly appealing to a kid from rural Indiana who hated her high school anyway. I also got reassurances that I could return if I didn't like it. But shortly after the gates closed behind me, I learned I'd been deceived; the beach was far away and I couldn't return home until I'd completed the program.” HomeKidsSchoolParentHigh SchoolProgramBeachHatedPropagandaGatesFar AwayDeceivedReassurance Author:Julia Scheeres
