Misinformation, Disinformation, Propaganda - Wikipedia

 

Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information unintentionally presented as fact.[1] This is contrasted with disinformation in that disinformation is deliberately deceptive.[2][3][4] Misinformation is different from rumor, which is speculative. Even if later retracted, misinformation can continue to influence actions and memory.[5]

Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.[1] Propaganda can be found in news and journalism, government, advertising, entertainment, education, and activism[2] and is often associated with material which is prepared by governments as part of war efforts, political campaigns, revolutionaries, big businesses, ultra-religious organizations, the media, and certain individuals such as soapboxers.
