I hear it used all the time, but noticed I don’t know exactly what it means. The actual definition of it is very broad.
“The spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.”
However, this doesn’t quite feel like how the word is often used. I’ve only ever seen it used with a negative connotation. If I were to spread information about climate change for the planet, am I spreading propaganda?

Responsible informative media helps you to think, propaganda makes you feel. Not all information is necessarily useful to everyone and conveying an idea through story and emotion can help the uninterested or even dimwitted take an important idea to heart.
