The RAF's female propaganda unit

"They were a small but dedicated group of women who played a key role in boosting the nation’s morale.
The weapons wielded by Sergeant Dorothy ‘Knicky’ Chapman and her colleagues against the Nazis and their allies may have been film cameras and tripods rather than guns and shells, but they were vital in explaining to besieged Britons how the war effort was being waged.
A rare collection of photographs showing the untold story of their work in the RAF’s wartime Film Production Unit is now being revealed for the first time.
Previously unseen photographs of its work have been published by Historic England to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The more than 150 photographs, which Chapman collected at the time, offer a rare glimpse of the unit’s endeavours at Pinewood Studios, the home of British filmmaking, where it produced newsreels and coverage of key events in the war, including the D-Day landings."

Does "propaganda" have a negative connotation in Scotland or England?

 

Propaganda: "Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view". Sounds like it should have negative connotations

 

Well, depends on the source, I suppose.

 

So the opposition's publications/announcements are proganda and our Ministry/Office of Information's releases are information.

 

Depends what mood I'm in usually.
'Propaganda' does tend to be an over-used word these days.

 

Female propaganda.
Happens all the time. Gossip is a silent destroyer, practiced through the millennia.
My real question would be:
Did they keep their 88's straight?

 

Sorry. Thought this was a famous ww2 song.

Men have always used strength as the final word…Women have learnt to use manipulation as their tool…A basic example is ‘no sex for you tonight!’…
