 Propaganda, in its original usage, was any information issued by governments. It has taken on connotations of being material announced by governments to influence target audience, in a broad context of information operations. Three terms of art, while of US origin, are widely used to characterize propaganda: white, gray and black. White is acknowledged by the government that issued it, the source of gray is deliberately ambiguous, and black propaganda is forged to appear to be from a different government. [1] References
