Propaganda vs Advertising

Propaganda and advertising are two terms that might crossover one with another. The difference is that propaganda is something that promotes false or exaggerated information such as yellow journalism. They are both exaggerated and scandalous to catch people's eye and attention yet, they are not necessary reliable or true. Propaganda was used during WW2 and during the Vietnam War. Germany like the U.S were providing false information to the audience so they could choose their side. On the other hand, advertising is used to market and sell a product. Because it can also be exaggerated, it can be confused with propaganda, but advertising is different because it is designed to sell and market.
