Media propaganda during and after the Cold War:

The Smith–Mundt Act

Summary/Abstract: This study analyses the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act in relation to the broadcasting station Radio Free Europe. The Act, which enabled the US Government institutions – especially the State Department – to overtly spread media propaganda materials abroad, has to be understood within the context of the Cold War’s world-wide political mediapropaganda. This study also looks into the “afterlife” of the Act, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which amended the original United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 in order to authorize the Secretary of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors “to provide for the preparation and dissemination of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, including its people, its history, and the federal government’s policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, the Internet, and other information media, including social media, and through information centers and instructors”.
