Campañas propagandísticas: su uso en la formación de la opinión pública. El caso del Comité de Información Pública de los EEUU durante la Primera Guerra Mundial

Abstract

World War I is the first conflict in which the implied States create a few institutional structures for the propaganda activity. An activity that had to provide them with the harmony between the plans that the States had for war and what the citizens thought a priori. There is analysed, as a case study, the activity of the U.S. Publicy Bureau that was able to transform a pacific and isolationist citizenship into a belligerent and frightened society before the German enemy.
