The Problem with the Media #9: Propaganda and Agitprop

Agitprop is a blend of the words "agitation" and "propaganda", and it refers to propaganda, especially that used in literature, theater, music, and other forms of more artistic mass communication, with the goal of promoting specific agendas. Propaganda and agitprop are related concepts, but they differ in scope, methods, and emphasis.
