      Can it? I searched a bit and all the definitions I’ve found seem to be about swaying public opinion, not simple objective announcements.

      It does have a negative connotation even though it can be used for good, but I still don’t think purely objective messages like “a tsunami is coming, get to high ground” should count as propaganda.

          I think that qualifies as propaganda too: its intention is to improve the public opinion of the Cohesion policy by clearing misconceptions.

          (About the “project” in the video… what the hell? I had to Google it because I wasn’t convinced it was a real thing. Just why?)
