Infoganda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Infoganda is a term describing dramatic or literary work that contains both elements of an infomercial and propaganda. The term has been sporadically used in both the popular media and in blogs since 2001, and in talk shows since 2004.

Infoganda is "a form of propaganda in which the message is delivered in a format that imitates an infomercial."[1]

An infomercial is a work of commercial speech (typically a television advertisement) whose purpose is to advertise a commercial endeavor.[1]

The combination of an infomercial and propaganda is an advertisement or show that pretends to be neutral (typically a news source) that has a real agenda of promoting the biased viewpoint of a large organization, typically a religious or government entity.[1]
