WHAT DOES WHITE PROPAGANDA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

White propaganda

White propaganda is propaganda which truthfully states its origin. It is the most common type of propaganda. It generally comes from an openly identified source, and is characterized by gentler methods of persuasion than black propaganda and grey propaganda. It typically uses standard public relations techniques and one-sided presentation of an argument; in some languages the word "propaganda" does not have a negative connotation. Jacques Ellul, in one of the major books on the subject of propaganda, Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes, mentions white propaganda as an awareness of the public of attempts being made to influence it. There is a Ministry of Propaganda; one admits that propaganda is being made; its source is known; its aims and intentions are identified. Throughout the course of a propaganda campaign white propaganda serve as a cover for black propaganda when the propagandist seeks to mask the former.
