Il pifferaio magico invita alla guerra. La maggioranza silenziosa dei neutralisti resta incapace di farsi valere davanti al baccano degli interventisti.

At a time when civilian periodicals faced strict censorship, the army’s chief of staff George Marshall won the support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to create an expansive troop-newspaper program. Both Marshall and FDR recognized that there was a second struggle taking place outside the battlefields of World War II—the war of words.

Until recently, propaganda was a top-down, elite-only system of communication control used largely by state actors. Today, as Samuel Woolley argues, social media has democratized propaganda, allowing nearly anyone to launch a fairly sophisticated, computationally enhanced, propaganda campaign.
