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?

You mean to want to know how something can be consider propaganda?
Many things that are spread around an idea, a religion, a political party are indeed propaganda, causes like Greenpeace and Peta are propaganda too. People think of propaganda like a bad thing because some of their ideas have a bad reputation and many others are made to spread misinformation around someone or something, thats where things get complicated and why “making propaganda” is bad, because you’re confusing or creating debate over something that people would not agree.
