True, the committee was one of the most effective propaganda machine in history
Established in 1917 by Woodrow Wilson to influence public opinion on the war, the war information committee turned out to be a formidable propaganda channel,employing renowned political theorists from all walks of life to market the war to the American public as a divine necessity.

The work of the committee on public information during world war 1 is considered propaganda because it was designed to influence public opinion by appealing on people’s emotion and presenting a single side of the story. This is because it was aimed at influencing people to support the participation of the U.S in World War I.
