'Trumpaganda' class at University of Illinois to examine President Trump's 'war on facts'
WASHINGTON – The University of Illinois is offering a new class on "Trumpaganda" that examines President Donald Trump's “war on facts, press and democracy."
The eight-week course, scheduled for the second half of the fall 2018 semester, will be taught by media professor Mira Sotirovic for both journalism and non-journalism students at the university's Urbana-Champaign campus.
The professor did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday, but she told the student newspaper, The Daily Illini, that the class will help students recognize the difference between Trump's propaganda and facts.
"Propaganda is effective only if it is concealed and camouflaged as something else, such as news, advertisements or PR releases, and it is critical to learn how to detect propaganda and recognize propagandistic features of any communication, including presidential," she told the newspaper.
