War and Media Propaganda

Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some cause or position and Media refers to any channel through which we can communicate to the massive audiences.

"We must remember that in time of war what is said on the enemy’s side of the front is always propaganda, and what is said on our side of the front is truth and righteousness, the cause of humanity and a crusade for peace".

Now a days Media is doing propaganda in order to gain attention of the people towards the things that are hidden from the eyes of common people.There are many types of propaganda that are used by the media, in order to understand the difference between persuasion and propaganda, there must be a clear understanding of their meanings.

Everyday there is a new news about war that is burning in our cities and towns, and media present it through its own way we can call it through its propaganda, what people thinks , what people want to see and what people do all depends upon what media want us to see, do and think. Media propagate different issues and we lost our own skills of thinking and imagining. We believe on what mainly media wants us to believe, in this way media succeeded in doing propaganda.

The interesting factor of propaganda is that people don't know about their influence towards it and they do not understand that they are feeding on the media's strategy. A kind of war begin between the people who are influenced by propaganda and people who are not. There are hundreds of shows and news channels on airing on Television and Radio. Certain people don't like the shows but because of the hype created by media and its strong propaganda we do not raise voice against it. Thus, War begins with our own selves and it cause irrational factor in our lives.


Media Propaganda leads us towards the way we are not supposed to go, our own understanding becomes zero, in short we become the puppets in the hands of media. In order to, avoid from becoming the victim of media propaganda we must need to be strong and there must be our own vision towards any issue and we must have information and our own opinion for any problem. In this way nobody can influence us towards its propaganda and the war we are facing with our own selves will not begin.
