Piers Robinson on navigating the fog of war propaganda

JermBy Jerm21 Apr 2022Updated:25 May 2023
Soldiers in fog

Piers Robinson is an expert on propaganda.

Dr Piers Robinson is a political scientist and currently a co-director of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies, convenor of the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media, an associated researcher with the Working Group on Propaganda and the 9/11 Global ‘War on Terror’ and a member of Panda.

Propaganda refers to the systematic dissemination of information or ideas, often with a biased or misleading nature, to influence public opinion and shape people’s beliefs or behaviours.

It is typically employed by governments, organizations, or individuals with specific agendas or objectives.

Propaganda can take various forms, including advertisements, news articles, speeches, posters, or social media campaigns. Its goal is to manipulate people’s perceptions, emotions and attitudes towards a particular issue, person or ideology.

Propaganda often utilizes persuasive techniques, such as emotional appeals, selective presentation of facts, and repetition, to shape public opinion in a desired direction.

Piers focused on, what’s known as, the fog of war, which is essentially the uncertainty in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations.

In other words, when there is a war, there is mass propaganda.

How do we know what is true?
