A critical and timely collection that argues for the centrality of 
propaganda in discussions about the contemporary media landscape and its 
informational ecosystems.

This book explores how “propaganda,” a foundational concept within media 
and communication studies, has recently been replaced by alternative 
terms (disinformation, misinformation, and fake news) that fail to 
capture the continuities and disruptions of ongoing strategic attempts 
to (mis)guide public opinion. Edited by Nelson Ribeiro and Barbie 
Zelizer, the collection highlights how these concepts must be understood 
as part of a long legacy of propaganda and not just as new phenomena 
that have emerged in the context of the digital media environment. 
Chapters explore the strategies and effects of propaganda through a 
variety of globally diverse case studies, featuring both democracies and 
autocratic regimes, and highlight how only by understanding 
propagandistic forms and strategies can we fully begin to understand how 
public opinion is being molded today by those who resort to deception 
and falsehood to gain or keep hold of power.

An important resource for students and scholars of media and 
communication studies and those who are studying and/or researching 
media and propaganda, media and power, disinformation, fake news, and 
political communication.
