shape it?
8. what is propaganda?

Opinion leaders influence public opinion through the formation of a specific position that matches their political beliefs or advocated values.

Suffrage (in the subjective, narrow sense of the word) is the constitutional right of citizens to elect and be elected to elected bodies, state and municipal authorities and the right to participate in a referendum.

The agenda constructs public awareness and concern for significant issues. The theory of the agenda is that news is not just a reflection of reality, but a socially constructed, edited reality. Reality is edited by the so-called gatekeepers. These gatekeepers are journalists, editors, publishers, and media owners - that is, all those participants in the information processing process that stand between the event and the final consumer of the news. The media have the ability to highlight specific events (problems, topics, phenomena) and focus on them, forcing the audience to perceive these events as extremely important. In this way, the media shape the public agenda.

Propaganda is the dissemination and inculcation of views, ideas, opinions with the aim of positively or negatively 'setting up' an audience (of any composition - from a few people to the masses and even society as a whole) and stimulating its reactions in the desired direction.
