“white propaganda” is fact-based with sources like a government or organization, aiming to shape public opinion in line with its objectives, white propaganda is transparent about its source, aiming to build credibility and trust.

- False Dichotomies: Framing issues as binary choices

One sign is at a University in Taiwan, the other outside a village elementary school in Ukraine.

In Taiwan public readiness is framed around natural disaster preparedness..

Getting it first doesn’t mean getting it right. But what you hear for the first time has staying power. While trusted sources are slower because they verify, malicious actors can shape the narrative with incorrect content.
