Topik: Propaganda; News Media Fulltext: 369.full.pdf (132.4KB) Isi artikel Since at least as early as the South African War (1899–1902), British governments have been greatly concerned with managing public opinion during wartime. During the course of the First World War, Britain arguably took the lead among modern states in producing sophisticated propaganda for domestic and international consumption, efforts that it combined with a censorship regime facilitated by the Official Secrets Act (1911) and the Defence of the Realm Act (1914). During the Second World War, the Churchill government expanded British propaganda efforts into electronic media. Such activities were generally seen as extraordinary crisis measures, the product of total war; during the interwar period there had been a considerable retreat from state-sponsored propaganda, which many viewed as contrary to Britain’s national character.
