Propaganda! What it is, Where it Comes From, and What to Expect this Election
Why are we so divided? Why is the Left so often fractured and ineffective? Why are we in this political situation in the United States and around the world? One answer would be "propaganda!"
Author and attorney Rich Procida, along with Media Psychology Specialist Lisa Snow, will present an online multi-media Zoom webinar on "Propaganda! What it is, Where it Comes From, and What to Expect this Election." Rich Procida studied Communications and Social Sciences at the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Communications. He earned his Juris Doctor at American University in Washington DC. He is the co-author of a short textbook on foreign comparative law and social attitudes toward explicit media. He currently writes news analysis and opinion articles for LAProgressive.com. Lisa Snow is the author of 'Mind, Media, and Madness: Alt Facts, Fake News, Russian Hacking, and What's Next." She was also a Media Psychology Consultant for the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad."
With the election coming, we can expect to be hit with propaganda on both the Left and the Right. Propaganda influences our opinions, attitudes, and behaviors in ways that serve the propagandist rather than our interests. The goal of this presentation is to make us more skeptical and critical consumers of news and information.
We can protect ourselves by understanding the basics of propaganda and advertising. Procida and Snow will describe the history, effects, and types of propaganda and how propagandists spread disinformation and cause division. They will also talk about the propaganda we are seeing and expect to see this election. While the presentation is nonpartisan, the discussion will focus on propaganda disseminated to the Left to divide and demoralize Liberals and Leftists.
